Wink Longtime Since I've Posted

Hello folks....
Well a lot has changed since last time I posted. Not much to civic (I'll get to that in a sec). But I purchased another DSM....you know once a DSM fan ALWAYS a DSM fan.
Ok...back to the 2k3. Konig Mozart Exhaust arrived & so has the short ram air intake (which I MUST say....Honda was definitely NOT thinking when they decided to make the damn throttle body VERTICAL...WTF?) anywho...intake was installed w/out any mishaps.....except one. My buddy was helping me w/the install and we were just finishing the last of the screws when he put the screwdriver on the inside left section of the fender. Needless to say (another design flaw of Honda) why the hell did they not seal of the fender to the engine bay? so the damn driver falls in there and we both try in vain to get the damn thing out......well I get pissed at him and call him a few names and get my g/f to try and stick her lil hands in there. I push the screwdriver from the bottom of the wheelwell and she loses grip and it falls deep into honda abyss. So now I'm irrate and want to kill someone....so dude's like ain't no thing...it should easy to get out now....I looked at him and said, we can't get to it because of the damn bodykit. So that's why I pose this ? to you folks.....How in the hell can I get it out? Oh the car runs great, but in my brief lapse of judgment, I forgot to pull the fuel injection fuse and let it sit for 10 or so mins. so it idles just below 1000k.....not bad I hope? Here is a pic of the body kit...It was put on by Honda I believe.....Get me out of the Dog House!
Thanks Guys!
Phil

Bra to protect the paint from getting the damn bugs stuck on it and she wants c/f projectors w/the angel eyes...etc....so it makes no sense in clearing out anything.
2 more for just ***** & giggles.
So CAN ANYONE help me figure out how the hell i'm going to get that damn screwdriver out WITHOUT having to dismantle the entire front end of the car?
Thanks!

Have you tried using one of those magnets on a stick? I know there is some extendable pen thing that has one magnet end to get whatever thing may drop. You can get it either from a local hardware store or an auto shop.
