Ever hear of Amazon?

Everything you want is on the linked page, just scroll down to "frequently ordered together."

Amazon Amazon

I use Amazon and Majestic Honda, its in Rhode Island a very long way from me
but they stock most things for our cars that others don't have or have to back order.
Good service too....

Don't kid yourself Majestic or any other discount dealer stocks much of this stuff. They just order it from Marysville when they need it.

I typically buy from Majestic. Good prices, great service, good packing for shipping — plus I personally would much rather support Majestic Honda than Amazon. In my experience, Majestic has indeed seemed to stock a surprisingly high percentage of parts that I’ve needed to date. Over time this is sure to change, but I’m in agreement with @Filthy Beast for the most part based on my own experiences.

It depends where you live, almost all of the Honda online parts stores like Magestic have migrated to the same web platform run by RevolutionParts and are mirroring almost identical prices. So it's now just coming down to shipping. I live in Arizona and find that Honda Parts Guys in California is cheaper then any other dealer due to shipping proximity with prices just pennies lower then Magestic for some items and then the bigger savings comes on shipping. I spent a lot of time comparing large lists of parts for projects I had across a dozen of the largest firms, like Bernardi, Magestic, HondaPartsNetwork etc. to come to these conclusions.

I use to buy from Honda Parts Network in Illinois for years, and they were always substantially cheaper then Magestic on the parts, until they migrated to the site built by RevolutionParts like Magestic and almost all the others as I've mentioned hence my investigation into the websites and prices. This company (RevolutionParts) just cookie cut the layout and template and also the pricing practically and somehow managed to get all the dealers to switch within a 2 year time frame. I also think a lot of the dealers have moved to outsourcing this to them, the pricing is so uniform that it just can't be coincidence. It reminds me of how Internet Brands owns S2ki.com and all the other car forums online.

Pretty disappointed because it's killed price competition putting them almost all on the same page, I almost think this was on purpose. I tried to get clarification from Honda Parts Network when they switched because their previous platform was far superior in every way, including telling you exactly how many bolts or items each part required and allowing to build a cart within the project so you can see it all in real time. This new platform they all went to sucks. Lots of lost features, and way too much clicking compared to before. Also Amazon is usually always the most expensive but it you need the Prime shipping it's quite handy if you need a part fast.

But at least now you can get parts for the ultra rare S2000 Coupe.

OEM brake lines have been on back order for a long time. I think you can get some, but not all. Other things as well. Several times I have ordered off one of the web sites only to get an e mail the next day canceling the order because its back ordered and they have no idea when it will come.

Need to make a list of the most common repair parts needed and start building my own parts supply.
