Have a 2004 Accord V6 6-speed manual with the.....VERY RARE... HFP Honda factory performance package!!!!! Every option that came with front lip rear lip side skirts spoiler lower stiffer suspension strut bars sway bars bigger wider Wheels leather heated seats carbon fiber bits on the interior etc... One thing I will say is just like everyone else said I know you're worried about rest but change that timing belt water pump ASAP do the valve adjustment as well..... Watch the Buddy lose in hfp Coupe because he didn't change the timing belt quick enough... I went to remind maintenance wise top to bottom front to back everything on the engine suspension breaks tires etc Once you have that stuff out of the way start having fun with it...... I did the 4-inch custom cold air intake j37 throttle body and intake manifold with p2r ported and polished intake runners... Then do Cat-Back exhaust RV 6 or atlp J pipe and last rv6 high flow pre cats or pre cat deletes.... AND DAMN..... It's like a totally different car.... And since you can't tune our stock ECU get one from an 03 - 08 Acura TL and then you can tune it with hondata!!! The amount of cars that I have been able to keep up or beat is crazy 2v mustangs full bolt on no prob 3 v mustangs 2017 5.0!till 100mph Dodge charger and Challenger RT are no match the scat pack editions I can keep up with till 100 mph Nissan 350Z de and HR 370Z till 100 Buddy's full bolt on and tuned RSX...... The list goes on.. Not bad for a 3.0 and eventually planned to do either j35 or j37 swap

it is a really sweet car. I know how you feel about the rust worries. I got a 335i recently that spent some of its life in Minnesota and then Florida and it has some underbody rust on it as well that made me super worried when I was first notified of it from an inspection. I recently had a bilstein b14 lowering kit put on it and swapped out old hardware for new on it. If I was you, I would see if I could replace those nuts and bolts that are under the hood that are rusting. Wish you good luck with it. It's sharp!
