hopefully the radiator support and bumper assembly on an accord is much different than a CL (which i doubt it is), because the hardest part was getting the damn headlights out.

i had no choice but to break 3 goddamn clips below each headlight

take off front bumper there's 5 bolts holding in the headlight, one on either side, two up top and one below. it'll come right out

and Mugen doesn't make blackhoused to my knowledge haha, they're just plain JDM CD6 SiR (which i just received at my house!!!!!!!! )
