So how do you get the hood to close?

you buy one with a nose like a 90's mustang aftermarket hood ..... or cut it and mount a shaker cowl ...... that would be sweet on an Accord!!!!

Everybody would think it is a fake ricer one though. They sell those that you just stick on the hood.

Not someone that knows what they're looking at. A true shaker cowl is mounted to the engine, so when running, the cowl shakes inside the cutout of the hood. Also, for shows, with the hood open, the cowl is still on top of the engine ....... mainly done on carb'd trucks.

Correct. I know this, but most people wouldn't and would still brand you as a ricer

True, but if it is actually to fit the engine, the hood is truely functional ..... the opposite of rice ...... also, you have all of that yummy torque from the oversized engine.

Only 0.2L, but powerful nonetheless ..... and the 6speed?!? Sweet!!!

the 01-03 CL/TL type S 6spd along with axles drops right in and you can use the shifter pedals and all the other goodies as well

sure, drops right in, but then you need to mod it to make the dizzy work. Remember, this is a '99. It has a dizzy. That went away the following year.
