Warranty almost up
So my 1.5 year old 2007 GPW is close to the end of Honda's warranty. I believe the drivetrain is covered longer, but the basic warranty is 36K miles, right? Are there any last minute things I should get checked out before it's up? Should I take it to Honda and say, "Hey guys, warranty is about to be up, can you give it a once over?"
Background:
07 bought new
CEL for malfunctioning O2, replaced O2 sensor under warranty
Driver's side wiper stopped moving, replaced under warranty
Regular oil until 12K miles, switched to Mobile 1 after and changed every ~7500 miles
No substantial modifications (hardtop, lip, springs)
All 4 tires replaced with Falken Azenis RT615 (255 in rear)
Did an alignment right after swapping tires
There is nothing really wrong with the car at all. Is there anything I should be worried about? Maybe it's me, but I hear a faint valve tap when I drive near a wall, but that's about it.
Thanks! The woes of having an S as a daily driver. Too many miles.

Bumper-to-Bumper Limited Warranty (years/miles) = 3/36,000.
Powertrain Limited Warranty (years/miles) = 5/60,000.
Corrosion Limited Warranty (years/miles) = 5/unlimited.
Accessory Limited Warranty - All Honda accessories are covered up to 3 years or 36,000 miles, depending on time of installation.
I doubt the MY07 warranty was longer.

High-output motors tend to just sound very "valve-y". Listen to an M3 or 911, they're even worse.

I rarely use it, lowered it maybe a total of 20 times ever. And recently it's been hiding under my hardtop. Unfortunately, if a rip ever appears, I'll be way out of warranty.
