My DP (handicap) plates arrived and mounted...I kept my fake Japanese "F IT" plate on the back, mounted below the real plate.

Only trouble I had in the weeks I drove with just the fake plate on the back was a his-loudspeaker-to-my-shouting-voice conversation I had with a CHP yesterday without actually being pulled over. I saw him looking as we passed each other a few times, then he apparently saw my red temporary DMV operating permit taped to the lower front passenger side windshield. (Same place daler tapes their temp paperwork.)

He PA'd me that the red permit should be in the rear window. I shouted that per the instructions on it, in the windshield was acceptable. He PA'd that the rear was "preferable" and I should relocate it. I replied that I would.

I didn't try to get into it at the speed limit that if I put it in my rear window it wouldn't be seen due to my 15% (legal) rear tint. But real plates were home when I got there, so no longer an issue.

@cfran55: hood looked good and you made it fit perfect. I missed the vented hood... really makes the engine bay cool.

I made it safe

yea no locks wasnt bad the hospital parking lot was right in front of the building and i was lucky enough to get the first spot.

teo: fit but i couldnt open the hood it kept hitting those covers on the windshield. Passenger side actually came loose and flew off so i had to pick up another one.

cps strikes in on in full effect thoe driving home all i see was picketers and kids

Got called from my dealer, the Accord Horn I ordered (+ paid too much for), and the cargo lense with an on/off switch arrived. Drove there, walked quite a bit from handicap parking to parts, got my stuff, back to car...where I took parts out of their sealed bubblewrap and found the horn was broken. Its connector was crushed...must have been packed too tightly in a box with other stuff. It looked like it would work, but this wasn't from a junker!

Long walk back to parts, a new one should be in by the morning. sigh.

Those are awesome!!! I wish I had a CF hood. I would settle for hood dampers like these, though. Do you or anyone here know of any hood dampers that would work w/ the stock hood???? Or universal ones that are good quality?
