I check here first if the local parts department can't help. https://www.vpartsinc.com/

After that... it's a crap shoot.

vparts shows up as a parts center in the Honda parts fiche. Your dealer should be able to tell you if something is available from them. I think they may also only sell to you through your dealer, but I'm not 100% sure on that. Last year when I bought my subframe I had to do the transaction with them and then they had to deliver it to a parts counter for me to pick up... it was unnecessarily complicated but I think that was because I was purchasing at an employee discount.

You can go to a Honda dealer, they can do a part number search to see if any dealership in the country may be sitting on old stock.

I just did a search in canada for you, nobody has one.

Are you missing the part or you just want a brand new one?

It's getting harder and harder to get EG parts. I just restored a EG and it was a serious challenge for some parts. I've ordered off eBay, online Honda Dealers, Amazon, and overseas sources (Japan). Also, pulled from salvage yards. Ultimately, I got super lucky and ended up buying an entire EG as a donor for $500. Let's just say I got my more than $500 out of it. But even finding "donor" cars is hard too.

Good luck finding that roof trim piece.

I've been tempted to make a thread about the rebuild. It's taken me about 2 years and it is almost 100% done. I still may...

Went from...

This was the original state of the hatch. Not terrible, but, had a lot of hacked "mods".

TO this

Nice and factory like...but with JDM goodies.




And that last two pics, I still have some buttoning up to do. Maybe I will start a thread...dunno.
