Getting ready for paint, so I got my OEM tail light gaskets and antenna. I got a regular DX antenna because I am not going to deal with getting at the motor in the kick panel for my LXi, and the cool thing is, it has a chrome base, I thought they were all black for some reason.:cheers:

When you go in to a forum, such as technical or whatever it may be, at the top it will say new thread, click on that. I am not sure but you may have to have at least 5 posts. But try it to see.

Only bad thing about OEM parts for a car this old is that they've probably been on a shelf collecting dust for 20 years. lol but good find.

True, but a lot are just parts that are on cars made today, so they're interchangeable.

I have been finding a lot of parts not available these days and the JDM parts are even worse.

Least you found what you needed!

typically im in there for standard maintence items. Gaskets, oil seals, belts, filters. i bought a complete cutch service kit. Only costs 360 my price for the pressure plate, throw out bearing and disc. Took 3 days to get them cali but I was glad they were still available. There are quite a few cool parts no longer available Ive asked for recently.

off black sei coupe carpet for the cabin. $780 no long stocked
Black carpet for the 88 dx hatchback $780 no longer stocked
I did ask for an oem air pump for my 1978 civic 1200 once. only $1500 and they luckily had one left in stock. I bet its still there too. It took 20 minutes to rip all the emiisions stuff off the 1200 when i got home that night.

of course they don't stock carpet, you can get that plenty of places aftermarket. a lot of the old dealers can get stuff Honda claims is no longer available, I know someone who just found factory parts for a 600. check thisoldhonda.org a lot of people there know where to get parts
