I know this is a huge long shot, but if any one happens to have any of the rubber grommets for the firewall I’m in need of some. Most importantly for the fuel return line (p/n: 17710-SH3-980).
I’m only looking for BRAND NEW or like new. All the used ones I’ve seen have been old and brittle and not worth my time.

have you tried the pickyourparts. im sure you might be able to find some in like new condition specially if the car is stock paint.
Every one one I’ve seen so far is brittle, for it to be “like new” the car would have had to been hermetically sealed or something. I tried to save the existing ones on my GSR but they cracked almost immediately.
if I have time ill go to my local pick part and see if I find any in great condition that will work for you. I took mines off when I sprayed my engine bay and cleaned them up with wd40. came out nice and didn’t crack when I installed them back on. then again my car had not been molested nor the engine bay had been sprayed before.
How long ago was your bay painted? My car was also unmolested and in good condition with original paint. I hate reusing stuff like this but it was the only thing on the firewall that is now discontinued so I couldn’t order a new one. But at this point used but not torn is better than nothing.
in july 09. I couldn’t find new ones so I decide to clean the originals since they weren’t damage nor rip.
I don’t think mine are ripped. If not I’ll get your address and send them your way. I’m going to be running an aftermarket fuel setup with firewall AN fittings so I won’t need them. I’ll check when I get home and let you know how they look.
That’d be awesome Mike!
Ok man I checked them out for you. The line that runs to the fuel filter has some small cracks. I didn’t even bother cutting the line to get it off because I didn’t think you’d be interested. The other two are harder than they were new but they’re not cracked or disintegrating and they flexed enough to come off without ripping so maybe you’d want those two? Here’s a pic for you…
If you want them shoot me an email with your address and I’ll send them out on Friday for you.
Awesome, thanks mike!
