It's a kit just for the hybrid, but it just consists of a 'standard' mini-spare sized wheel, replacement 'tool tray' (case), and a spacer bolt (along with the other incidentals I mentioned earlier). You take the jack (& everything else) out of the existing tool tray in the HAH, and put it in the replacement tray. You leave out the air compressor and the IDS bottle, but everything else makes the trip to the new tray.

I had an '01 coupe where the jack stowed in the side storage compartment as well; not sure if the other trim levels on the 7th-gen Accord stow it in the side, or in the wheel compartment, like the Hybrid.

For the money / trouble (I was told by 3 tire shops that they could not order the rubber, for example), I will probably go the junkyard route. Once I find one, I'll post this kit up for sale on E-bay or something (retail $120, I paid $80)
