So the wife slid on the ice onto some PVC vents for house that are next to the driveway (she swears she wasn't going too fast; last year she totalled my beloved 2001 Accord after "driving slowly" through a puddle and into a guard rail; you be the judge). So she got stuck jammed it in reverse...

So while driving down the road suddenly I get attacked by the visor bombarding me with the cover from the garage opener falling down. Pics below, anyone know the part number (for some reason it's not listed on the part) or where I can find it? Thank you :)

What is the blue bubble canister on the driver side engine compartment? It has a vacuum line on it thats not hooked up.

So i've been looking around for that piece you put on your bumper, after the cutout, after installing an aftermarket exhaust. At the moment i'm allowing my new exhaust to melt itself into my bumper, i've been unable to find the piece to put into the bumper, so before i cut out i need to find...

Does anyone know what the name is of the blue plastic thing that hangs next to the wiper fluid reservoir on the drivers side? I snapped the tube that leads to it and don't have any idea what the function is, or what to ask for when getting a new one. Thanks!

So this thing broke.. It's the lil Electronic Doohicky that pulls my trunk latch release when i hit my key fob.. I think i need a new one.. cuz it just makes a crappy noise and does not work. Thanks This next pic is just funny.. my trunk filled with all the motorcycle parts i'm throwing away...
