You all are paying over sticker? There are many dealers selling at list in the midwest. We sold both of ours for sticker. They are not as rare as you people may believe and different versions will be released next year.

The dealer I work out at in northern california is selling at sticker as well, our competitor to the south will mark them up for sure, they are still sitting on 2 nsx's because of $40,000 mark up lol.

How is that front plate bracket mounted to the car?

Drilled into your front bumper?

At this stage of the game, in the DC area, 3K is fine.

There are a lot of fans in your part of the world so dealers are able to charge quite a bit more.

A volume dealer in Baltimore only had theirs on the floor for 40 minutes before somebody walked in off the street and paid 14K over.

I wondered how many of the old guys would be driving them.

Victor’s been running around looking for a white one for a while now. :-)

Yes it is. There are two dimples on the bumper from the factory in which to secure the frame just like all the other civics. We left the frame in the back for the customer to decide what to do with. Even though state law requires a front plate which is why most of the time we do install the bracket, and it almost always puts at least one hole into the bumper. Two in this case.

No it doesn't have to be. The two mounts on the bottom will hold it on but eventually will sag with a plate on it. But not all dealers who install them drill into the front bumper, we don't.

Isn't it tempting? LOL....

I've heard from two big dealers who sort of said, "This car is for you. Come and get it."

That's how I ended up with the KC2, a dealer just said come and get this.

Do I want to step down to only 305 HP, though, I wonder....

I still remember your car, by the way, as the example of the perfect EG hybrid.
