Yes I know I got shafted, and I didn't do full research on it before hand. As for pictures my avatar has one but I will take more and show you what I mean exactly. I don't know exactly what happened but I will eventually be replacing it with something else... Any suggestions

My personal favorite is the Voltex, although that probably has more to do with function than looks. As far as your car, other items you may want to check are the engine and the turbo. The engine should be the Mivec engine (it will say Mivec on the valve cover). It may be a bit harder for you to verify if you have an VIII or IX turbo, but if you search for pictures comparing them you may be able to verify which you have. It's unlikely that someone swapped the engine out as that would require swapping ECUs, wire harnesses, and is a ton of work. Swapping the turbo out is a couple hours of work and is worth ~15whp so someone may have done that if they took the time to swap front bumpers.
