Post Spare tire kit: $120.00

Part # is 06421-SDR-A00 (Wheel kit) as listed on the invoice. I was on Owner Link the other day, and they now have the parts catalog online - you can take a look there if you're interested in what comes in the kit.

Had the parts counter order it when I went in for my 1st oil change today. I had a $40.00 redemption certificate from the dealer, so it was net $80.00 plus tax. At that price, I went for it...peace of mind of having a spare is worth that, and it's certainly cheaper than the $200.00 I estimated

At $120, it may be worthwhile to take a trip to your local boneyard and look for a V6 parts car that you can grab the spare / hardware out of (remember that the L4 cars have 4 bolt lug pattern, so you can't use one from those cars!)

Parts guy says that it's sourced from Japan, just like the car was (and apparently, *all* the parts are - even the ones that are common to the non-hybrid models).

Glad that Honda's a fairly reliable make...and that my dealer has loaners...
