After being a domestic guy for practically my entire driving life, and hating on the Honda's, I broke down and got one. I was out of a car and this one was offered up, so I took it. When I got it, the interior sported type-s' entire lineup 
, when I looked to the back, I found this 
drivers side
passenger side 
the one bolt is actually crammed into the glass. It also came with one of theses swapped into it 
y8 powered by an SSR chipped P28, sweetsauce steel mesh air filter, and an unknown header. Sounds good until you look at the harness 
I guess their dog helped out on this one. Go 'round back, in the trunk was a small rodent's nest, 12v live wire going to nothing, but the included RF amp that had one of the speaker drivers blown, but was properly grounded. And of course the obligatory 
as he claimed, it was carbon fiber (fits up to 4 fingers!! ), but most of the carbon covered fibers had blown out.
So I got it home, cleaned 'er up and dericed it as far as I could and now it looks like this:
The grapefruit shooter (welded on properly, no clamps) is still on there till I get paid and can do a proper exhaust. This car ownes the blur between rice and nice....

I don't know why they needed tape on the butterfly. Notice how well the metal filter does 
that done been gone. The filter was slid over more than half of the filter that covered a hole that was made when they busted the shock tower brace off...
Notice the future CF wine chiller in the corner. The car sounded the same even with that muffler cut off. Now it has a nice, almost subie burble. Fresh radiator going in tomorrow.
