gross, even though the previous owner is a good friend. I called him at one point everyday for two weeks cursing him out asking him how he could possibly neglect something this badly.

the paint in the engine bay isn't the greatest... its far from awful and I thought hard about having it redone but it just wouldn't be the same. Honda only put a light coat for a reason I didn't want to mess with that reasoning.

I never had the chance to take a picture of all the brand new parts together unfortunately, but I do promise you... just about every piece in this engine bay was replaced with brand new oem pieces. the entire intake system is brand new all of it.

there was nothing wrong with the radiator had a few bent fins but I felt better having a brand new one. the shroud and fan were not replaced as they just needed a quick rinse and wipe down.

the vehicle had previously been equipped with a remote starter and whoever had installed it for some reason spliced the harness in numerous spots...I was not ok with that.

ok, something I did not keep OEM USDM is the header, cat, and midpipe. the header and cat were discontinued and I had a spare JDM set so decided to use it instead, went to see my friend at JDM Source for a mid pipe, and then a brand new OEM Muffler... ofcourse all gaskets and hardware were replaced.
