I would think you should be able to just weld or devcon the intake manifold and call it good. As long as your wanting to stay with an oem manifold anyway.

It's all good. She's back in my driveway, riding super smooth and clean. After the rain here in Cali., I'm going to put back the OEM front end.

After finding out that the rice aftermarket bumper was held on just by one bolt and some masking tape, I had to find a way to mount the OEM.

The previous owner left me with no bolts for me.

yup some zip ties or get some new bolts from honda dealer or you local auto store. btw... if you want i think i have an extra bolt and the white plastic piece (grommet) that goes between the tabs of the bumper and the fender. they are oem honda ones, so it might cost a bit. somewhere about $10 for both. if you want it i'll see if i can find it

Parts # 8 and #21

maybe its cheaper in your area but the Honda store in my area is a lot more expensive than others so it might not be worth it to buy mines

Thanks guys. I'm going to probably drive by the shop to get the fender put on. The skirts that came on the car need to come off first before the fender can be put on, however, I am still thinking about putting the turn signal light on the fender too. Just not sure. I have a paint job lined up after I get all the OEM parts on. This will be happening really, really soon.

do you have plans for a type r grill? if you do maybe you should get that in before you take it to get it painted

Today, the side skirts came off, yes, they were molded on and we stripped it off. She has her OEM black underneath. Also, I managed to get the front driver's side fender on as well. All that's left is the rear bumper and she's set for paint.

Yes, I am going to talk to my friend about ordering me one, but I want the car to be black so I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have to paint it, no?


Also, in the morning, when I'm at the office, I'll upload the pictures of the new "Frankenstein" look.

the grill is going to be in black, but not going to match the black on your car, its just a plastic black not painted glossy black. i'd suggest to get it painted as well.
