I paid 217 shipped to my house with valve cover gasket from inlinefour.com and the only thing I had to modifiy was the bracket I left it off it is only two screws that you take off but it is very stable by itself

all the plastic parts along the side and under the windshield then there is 5 10mm bolts and 4 12mm bolts u need to take off to get the protective shield off to get at the valve cover. you also have to take the wiper blades off and they are 17mm bolts

Yup when i bought my ep3 back in the day
I called Sheng at JHPusa.com

He was like...Mike i dunno if it will fit on the ep3
So he gave it to me at cost which was like 140
I sent him a few pix... gave him a thumb up on the fitment

and Ended up leaving it on the car when i traded it in rather than pull it
