    Hey all..... I hate being the new guy, lol

    My name is Jon. I have an 88 Accord Lxi. Bought it 6 years ago with 130k and now it has 314k. Runs like a champ.
    I am 45, been in the auto industry since I was 15. Oumped gas, worked aftermarket parts, Auto wrecking, had my own business
    restoring classic Chevys, and now I have found myself at a Honda Dealership where I have been for the last 14 years in the parts dept.

    So if you guys need help finding stuf or need part numbers or whatever, then get at me. I would be happy to help if I can.

    I did some digging this morning and I don't even show a front lip spoiler for an Accord sir. I even looked under accesories and couldn't find anything.
    Is there a particular model you were looking for the spoiler for? I will keep digging too....

    I know right? I commute 60 a day for work and then the rest is just because I live in BFE and you have to drive 10 miles just to get anywhere, lol.
    But I do like my place and my 6 car shop with the lift, so I will take the commute, haha.

    I found it once in the majestic Honda catalog. Here is a thread about it, the part number is 08126 - se300. It has been discontinued for years now, wish I could still get it tho lol.

    Welcome to the forum. Do you get some comments about your car at the dealership? Can you post a photo of your car?

    Re: Hey all..... I hate being the new guy, lol

    Well, you asked for it. How about the rear center section for an 88-89 coupe? The plastic section between the taillights that houses the license plate and is cracked on every car? I believe that cupholders and armrests (both SE-i version and dealer add-on) are also always in demand. See if you can find those and we'll send you after the impossible stuff, like new mainshafts and countershafts for the 5-speed transmissions.

    Have fun!

    Foglight kits and parts for the kit. Even if all you can source are switches and/or brackets, we'd be happy.

    I mean, we can send you on all the wild goose chases in the world, so unless you're really bored, don't challenge us :p

    Nice to have someone here that works in the part department and can give us a hand.
