$21.13 for the bushing.
One is less, one is more.
That being said. Honda does not have set in stone pricing on these parts. The prices seem to vary around the country.

It's also possible that list prices with Acura of Canada are different from those in the States.
The best online dealers (like Delray) give a flat 20 percent off list. Most dealers sell prices wholesale (such as to local independent mechanics) at the same discount. To a walk-up retail customer, they may not give any discount at all. On a large purchase, they may give a discount up to 20 percent. I know when I bought an ITR tranny (for the GS-R), they were quick to offer it to me at wholesale.

If I need a part asap, I look the prices up online and use them to my advantage at the dealership. Theres only been like one time when the service guy wouldn't help me out. They havn't matched the price but have gotten close.

Last time I ordered a bunch of transmission parts when I was rebuilding it. I had the parts guy come by right during when I was in my garage working on the R and we ended having an hour conversation.

I just bought that bolt too. Bought some rs door bezels also, my order cost was $12 shipping and handling was $15. I should have just bought the bolt local for $9.

Majestic Honda / http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com is by far the cheapest in the country, 30% off list across the board. Dealer prices in Chicago vary wildly. Some charge list, some charge excessively above list.
Bert-O is good when the total order cost isn't enough to offset Majestic Honda's s&h charge.
And btw, Honda SCREWS us in parts costs compared to other brands. Their parts costs on major stuff like shortblock, pistons, etc is ok, but we get taken to the cleaners in the likes of nuts and bolts. You'd think a company like BMW would be ridiculous for parts costs, but they're the same or sometimes less than Honda parts other than stuff like a shortblock.

Prices definitely vary depending on the dealership. All of the dealerships in my area have different prices for the same parts. The bigger dealerships usually have better prices. Maybe they get better pricing since they sell more cars.

you gotta keep in mind that on these web sites the prices are + sh. the prices you get from the local dealer have everything included already.

Most dealerships will give you 10-20 percent off if you buy half a dozen or more at a time.
