I know HandAaccessories can be trusted - I've purchased from them 3 times - the largest (size & dollar amount) being a rear wing spoiler for my '01 Accord Coupe. Parts were genuine Honda, came in Honda boxes, and the dealer's service dept didn't give me any guff about the spoiler (the other purchases were things I could install myself). Shipping was quick, as well.

The difference between what you pay online and what you pay retail represents additional markup by the retail dealer - or to be more fair, what Honda says the parts should retail at. The internet sites are selling for a smaller margin, hoping to make up the difference in volume.

In the case of the site I've ordered from, they're owned by a dealership in CA (forget which one). The internet parts business is kind of a sideline for them.

 

They are Honda OEM parts from the above link:

Odds are they are either guaranteed by that dealership or contain some sort of return policy.

 

I've bought stuff from College Hills too. It was small stuff but I was very satisfied. Especially with the price.

 

Believe it or not, you can get a discount from a Honda dealer. College Hills Honda is a dealer that gives discounts. Just because we own Hybrids doesn't mean we have to walk around with a stickers on our heads that says "rip me off".Just my $0.02.

I paid $2000 under MSRP for my 04 HCH and $1000 under MSRP for my 06 HCH!

 

Well, I installed this last weekend and it makes a world of difference. It by no means is the thump you get in an aftermarket system. But, it is enough to fill the car with some bass. It was a simple install and the intructions were straight forward. It only took 30-45 mins.
