Honda Car Forum

After a lifetime of American and European autos, I made
the plung and picked up an '04 Civic Hybrid to commute in.
It seems like a solid little car. I was wondering though,
what are the best places to look for after-market accessories?

Too late moron. They have to be purchased at the same time as the car to have
the full factory warranty. It's only 1 year if purchased later.

It seem to me the best place to buy accessories is from the
manufacture and dealership because you will have the benefit of
the factory warranty if the installation, or the product, fails.
If you trust the manufacture and the dealer enough to buy the
vehicle from them why not trust them enough to know what is best
for your expensive new vehicle? Why trust someone you don't know
in an effort to save a relative few dollars?

Buy a copy of Sport Compact magazine. There are a lot of ads in it.

If you like paying 30 to 100% more for an item, then yes.

(yawn) Any reputable installer will give you a warranty and/or guarantee on
the product, and workmanship.

This simply doesn't make sense. What are you trying to say here...that one
automatically trusts the dealer/salesperson just because you buy a car
there?

That's absurd. Mikey, do you have any idea how stupid you sound? What an
idiot.

BTW, where's those braniac "shop guys" of yours? Are they busy changing
light bulbs and washing cars?
