Perfect example of supply (nil) and demand (high). 
.
My Silverstone front spoiler was $346.04 NIB in box from Majestic Honda in 2015 (can't believe I found the receipt). Mine sat in the box until 2019 when I had it installed after having the front bumper refinished.
Gotta pay the price sometimes. I paid somewhere over $300 for a set of NOS NIB Silverstone side strakes that will on on the car next spring. These require putting the car on a lift and drilling and preserving the steel so I'm taking my time. Good time to do this is during the car's annual POL change I normally do every April.

I would say just getting some Honda Access 2 Piece Floor mats, a CR Shift Knob, getting the valves adjusted (06+ run leaner so the exhaust side tightens over time quicker), and adding a Hondata FlashPro Tune (is SMOG legal).
That would give you a good bit more midrange power, lower VTEC engagement a bit, increase your redline to 8500, and richen up your AFRs so your exhaust side shouldn't tighten up as much.
This would give you the most out of it that Honda could do without adding CR parts or many aftermarket ones.

this is not a new phenomena and anyone that’s been around cars that are preserved already knows this. I didn’t even bat an eye at paying what I did. I want OEM parts(even if I have to refinish), so I paid for that luxury. No skin off my teeth.
now!
