I got this baby in today. It doesn't really have a function other than cleaning up the look of your engine bay some but it really does look good. Installing is an easy 5 minute process. I chose the black one because I'm not big on the polished/chrome flashy look under a hood of a Honda but if you do, they have that too. Just to verify, I bought it used, but from someone who bought it and decided they didn't want it so it was still considered "new condition. Since it's Forbidden Motorsports, you know it's good quality. So all you people looking for a simple way to make your 4G engine bay have a clean unique look, check out www.forbiddenmotorsports.com and take a look at the pics of this product on other cars.

Here's shots of it on mine.

nice review but there is a point to it its supposed to block some of the air that goes through the bumper from rising up into the engine bay. this way the air goes directly toward the radiator. Its also helps stop the wobble movement that the air causes from rushing upwards through the sides of your hood for those with cf hoods. you got the same color as me fuker lol good shyt man.

Well I got it for cosmetic benifits more than anything. With the minimal basic mods I have, it's not that benificial for anything more at this point. When I get my car repainted, I might get it painted genuine GBP like the rest of the car.

Pics arent working btw. But they definately need to make one for the 5g, especially since I took out the grill ;)

Yeah, I deleted the pics a long time ago without realizing I had them on here. There's pics on their site though.
There's a carbon fiber plate available for 5th gens but I don't know who makes it. You need your grill to use it though.
