I always really liked the original red / black color combination - more so when the paint is in good condition.
It looks like your car is missing the flexible black lip along the bottom of the front bumper. Did you remove it or was it missing on your car? Aside from the small aerodynamic benefits, its a very useful feature because the scraping noise it generates gives you an early warning that you are going up a driveway that is too steep. Scrape marks on the lip are an easy no / low cost repair. Scrape marks / cracks on the bottom of the bumper are definitely not a low cost repair.
Unfortunate about the snap ring failure. An interesting statistical event failing 27 years after the car was built, unless somebody did an incomplete fix earlier and the fix subsequently failed. Was the transmission in the original snap ring failure range identified by Honda? Are you doing a complete transmission replacement?
