Pick and pull will most likley have some side moldings / you might be able to pick up rear interior, i swapped all my brown for black via various junk yards.

you will probably have to buy new clips for the side moldings though, they are tricky to get off without breaking. There is a thread on honda-tech somewhere about it.

Swap looks good man, now boost it! If I were you, I would just save my money, and get those side moldings shaved! I think EF's look really clean without the side molding...

I'm not too sure about the oil pump, but I would do it just to have the added security. Also, I'd stay away from E-Bay turbo kits, at least the dirt cheap ones. I have a buddy who had an E-Bay turbo kit on his EG hatch, and he got one of the more expensive kits, and it worked great for him... I think it was called an RX Racing kit. He had it for over a year, on a B16, without a problem, and that car ran like a champ! Then he sold it about 6 months ago, and from what I've heard, the kid hasn't had a problem with the turbo either.

Nice car, very clean, I do agree with the others on the side moldings though. Keeps us posted on the car.
