Well i highly doubt the guy i bought it from was a thief. Suburban kid going into the airforce and selling all his parts before he left for bootcamp. He said said he bought it from a shop who had picked it up from acura but i forget which one, this was over 6 months ago im sorry i cant provide good enough details, if you dont want it then thats fine with me cause if not im going to keep it regardless. i would like to sell it so that i dont have to lug it up to NOVA but if i have to keep it im just going to build it along with the hatch!
