You can't replace the oil pan with that no.

The coolant tank looks like it could replace the existing overflow if it was installed right and modified a little, but that doesn't look like what it's designed to do

you can simply replace your oem coolant overflow with anything, coke bottle, used condom, a keg, you pick.

the oil reserivor is more like a catch can.

nothing wrong, im just trying to make my engine bay a little sharper, and trying to get rid of some of the clutter and such.

so basically the coolant overflow DOES or CAN replace the stock resvoir, correct?

but the oil resvoir does not replace the existing resvoir?

If you can do it <u>tastefully</u> you can paint the stock units and it can look better. But you have to be careful with the color and how you paint it

I'm not aware of any Accord that has a stock dry-sump oil system.

Niiiice

$190 for an overflow tank is a bit of a waste of $$$, no? Look on Summit or Jegs and you can find lots of them for $50-60.
