Did you have to re-weld any of the tabs for hood release or ecu mount, or was it strictly firewall?

i had to move the tabs for the hood release lever, the blower unit mount and the brace that supports the steering column.

thanks to the good guys at honda, they make it real simple. there are these littile bumps that stick up on the side wall of the car and each bracket has little impression that correspond with these bumps, no need to measure or anything.

i also had to drill a hole on the side under the fender where the hood cable come in, it was also pre marked.

So did you not use the steering wheel support bar from the jdm clip? Or the blower?

i used everything from the jdm clip from the seats forward, not including the body parts (fenders,bumpers, hood, lights)

i had to you the jdm blower as it is iinverted it goes BLOWER>>>A/C>>>HEATER>>steering wheel

while the US one goes steering wheel>>HEATER>>A/C>>>BLOWER
