^ I figured screw pwjdm, I don't need colored washers. Stainless look better anyway. It's expensive though, for me was about $1 per bolt/washer. They only had 20 left, and that covered most visible, still want to do under the skirt fender bolts and under headlight, so it is pricey. Anytime I take something off on my car I replace the bolts with stainless, I've broken too many bolts.

Well, I'm keeping the PWJDM dress up washers but any other bolts will be stainless, like the upper control arm bolts, strut bolts...

Oh I see what you mean now. I think what got me with the PWJDM bolts is they kept getting stripped in the allen key slot

Yeah we'll definitely be meeting up soon.

Yesterday was another rainy day. I went Advanced Auto to see if they have the quick hose clamps for coolant hoses and such. They only had the standard screw tight ones.
I then went to Honda and they wanted $4.50 for each freakin' clamp. Screw that. I took mine off, grinded them down, and sprayed 'em with clear.

I got a box of a few different sizes at Pepboys for like 8 bucks. They had boxes of different sizes up to like 2 inches.

PS: Your "paint booth" looks like mine haha

Yes, I'm keeping the engine bay's fuse box in the bay because this is still a daily driver and it still needs to be functional.

It looks like a photoshoped myself in the picture.

Here's the nest of wires that I removed from the engine bay:

Nice progress. Looks like you have a little rust to contend with.

I always love those candid shots of people sitting in a Honda engine bay.
