Are you kidding? Well, I guess I get it from the dealerships being JDM and all. Those Honda dealers love to screw ya. I never buy parts from the dealer if at all possible.

its pretty hard sometimes...and its a lot of trouble; I dont like to do it too often.
I have to go though my friend in california who is originally from toyama, japan. I buy her an international calling card, send it through the mail and she calls her parents, who calls the family friend in tokyo or the other in osaka. They in turn get me the part and I forward the money, plus shipping. Its a lot of work for either side...but I could probably get anything I wanted. Plus she gets to talk to her family

I know a couple of people living in Okinawa, Japan (where I used to live). If you NEED something, and wouldn't be too hard to find, I might be able to get it for you.
