Welcome, prolly been hit in the front? Would explain hood gap and fogs.

Not a fan of the wheels, but to each his own. Nice car for a 16 year old!

I bought it used, and we fixed it up and never put foglights in.

And I had to find a Google image of the stock engine cover since i didnt have one of my own.

The "Stock Pic" you used is from a Type-S Engine Tough....


Congrats on the Car and We are Here if you Need Help with Anything!!!
Instead of Getting Headers I Advise you to give your Trans a 3x3 with DW-1 and get an ATF External Filter + Cooler, Both are EASY DIYs for a Kid to Do if your Mechanically Inclined and Cost 1/3 of the Headers Price.

The OEM Filter is OKAY at best, The Magnefine Filter is wayyy better at filtering the small debris the Clutches start to leave and it has a Magnet which always have full contact on the oil vs the Magnet Plug which only catch what fells into the oil pan = Cleaner ATF = Extended ATF Life Usefulness

The Cooler maintains the ATF "cooler" which in turns makes it far more stable to oxidation and stop being a "lubricant". The better the ATF lubricates, the clutch is less likely to slip = Happy Transmission!

Obviously this will not save your trans at all, It will likely just prolong its life...

My suggestion would be:
Take off the Vtec stickers on the sides of the car
Take off that ridiculous vtec badge on the rear
Don't install the spoiler
Sell ur wheels and get something better
Take off that fat A C U R A sticker on ur windshield
You should repaint ur brakes to a more discrete color, puny red calipers aren't pretty
Go thru these forums to learn more, you shouldn't mod anything without referring back to this forum.

HairyMonkey019 is right all the way. If you want a louder tone to the exhaust do a mid muffler delete. The wheels not diggin so much for a TL. If you can't get the fogs might as well mold them in and just paint the bumper
