@Thirdpedalenthusiast - Apologies for the mistake, the car does not have paint protection film applied. We have updated the listing details.

@Thirdpedalenthusiast - Thanks for the question! All of the typical Prelude oil leak areas have been addressed. The oil pan gasket, oil filter housing mount o-ring, vtec solenoid gasket, distributor o-ring, valve cover gasket have all been replaced within the last 6 months. Check out the pictures for some shots of the engine during service.
