I just purchased my 05 ex se cpe about a month ago. So far I'm loving the honda and the great has mileage. I did have a few questions since I'm such a car newb.

I bought a replacement air filter and cannot figure out how to change it.

Also, I had alot of interior noise coming from the car. I didn't know what was causing it until I got a car wash. The previous owner had told me he locked his keys in the car and triple A came to open the door. It seems the guy didn't know what he was doing because it took him 3 hours and he tried to unlock both of the doors. To make a long story short, I went to get my car washed and there was some water coming into both doors. I found the stripping online, but is it easy to install?

Replacing the air filter is simple...
There is a cover for the stock air intake system, which you can take off with I believe four clips. And just replace the air filter with your replacement, it's not bolted down or w/e, it just sits there.

 

its not held on by clips dummy. its held on by bolts. take a wratchet to them and theres about 5 or 6. then the cover will come up and theres ur green filter. replace and tighten eveyrthing back on. remember, righty-tighty, lefty loosey.

 

I see there are three gold bolts, but it looks like if I remove those it will remove the airbox totally. There are six screws on top of the air box that I loosened with a phillips head, but it still won't come off.
