    yeah mine is plastic...but yeah...you cant beat lifetime warranty so if it blows up you get a new one free.

    Get a CSF radiator. It's all metal and I got mine for about $150 brand new.

    I have a Modine all metal in my Integra GSR, I think the CSF one for that car had plastic tanks is why I chose Modine. Of course, on the flipside, Modine might have an all metal for the Accord as well.

    its like $145USD shipped to my place, and UPS 'fuck me in the ass' fees to go with it. elijah was using the stock rad when he went turbo, so i guess it cant be that bad can it?
