          Go to a salvage/junk yard. I bet you $170 that you find at least 3 laying on the ground.

            I would accept that bet since i NEVER find them even in the wheels. They're always gone.

              I found some on Ebay for $60 shipped. Shipping took two weeks. But they were new.

              Once I got them i sanded them down to match the polished SE wheels I have.

              I have never found any in the JY I would use, but my JY's Suck

              Some of the ACURA center caps fit as well. And on my set the "H" was painted on so when I sanded it cam off.

                That's why dealerships are known as 'Stealerships' Most people, who aren't car oriented are going to go to the dealership to get replacement parts, because they don't know better.

                  You can certainly find them online for much cheaper. Most dealer parts counters these days sell the parts for list price + a 5-15% markup. Go to majestic honda and see what the part lists for.

                        I most definitely agree. But whats funny is today I went to the JY to get a master cylinder and found a center cap on the front seat of the car. Lol, I thought about this thread when I saw it.

                            at least they didn't try to charge you $200 bucks for them. Because 1997 special edition centers caps are in such high demand. honestly just do what everyone else does and from a junkyard or ebay. Ive seen 4 caps for 15 bucks.
