thans for the props everyone. i found it browsing around on a few different honda websites. it cost 800 for the whole front half of the car, well minus a motor. I also went and picked it up myself from MA, so from NJ it was roughly a 4 hours ride. Tolls and gas there and back weren't that bad either, but it was a long ride. The kid I got it off of said he bought a few rhd clips from a factory in PA (which i believe he said was going out of business, but not sure lol)

damn, thats crazy. when you weld the fire wall on, how hard is that part? im sure you cant just hold it up and weld, i assume it's gotta have some alignment to match up?

i cut out the firewall as close as i could and it matched up almost perfect, but in some spots there is more of a gap then in others. i should have it welded this week. i know the right way is to drill out all the spot welds, which i started to do, but then just decided to cut my firewall out and then cut the rhd one out. then i trimmed it down till it slid in place. i have a few more pics from today, but i have to upload them still
