Bose, 6sp, 18" rims, OBC, and the basic "sport" seats. Bone stock with pzeros. Its not super loaded with options, but the motor was the strongest & handling was crisper than all the others I was looking at. The P.O. rarely drove it.


Now it's time for 1,000 bucks at the dealer for the 35k service

I'm thinking DIY oil change & brakes after that...

Now, paint those lug nuts! I took the easy way out and bought some touch up paint from an auto parts store and just painted the lug nuts without taking them off. It takes a steady hand, but it worked great and it makes the wheels look brand new. Plus, it only took 20 minutes! Get the paint for Honda, heather mist metallic. It matches the twists perfectly!
