I'm pleased to report that the PO, having done so much half-assing things on the car, did NOT mangle the turn signal harness in order to fit the Honda turn signals on the car. The original plugs are intact, so the turn signals should be fairly simple to install. That, however, will happen a little later. Today, I installed the optional hood blanket. I honestly don't know where or when I picked this up. I was on a parts-buying binge shortly after purchasing the car in 2016, and I honestly don't remember getting this. But here it is, so...
Since my car didn't have the optional hood blanket in the first place, I had to mock up the blanket and then mark the holes. Blue tape helps keep that drill bit from walking.
I then drilled holes, knocked down the burrs, and then painted them so they won't rust later. I went to Autozone and picked up a bunch of clips...the ones this came with (I only had 5 out of the 14 or so needed) were smaller than standard hood blanket clips, so that's what I got. Took trips to 2 Autozones to get enough to do the whole hood. Here it is installed:
Overall, I'm very pleased with how it tidied up the frunk. I am not happy about the PO cutting the carpet by the battery box. Still wondering WTF the guy was thinking??? MotoTrooper said he may be able to help me out there, so crossing my fingers.
