Sports cars, especially British sports cars, and muscle cars seem to enjoy really good aftermarket support. But finding parts for a first generation Accord is a challenge. There are parts out there, but finding the specific part you might need takes time and patience. Fortunately, Honda's legendary reliability (which isn't so legendary recently) keeps the need for replacement parts to a minimum. But if anyone knows where I can find a NOS front carpet in Rose Wine Red please let me know.

Since we own a Sprite I have a few points
Parts are easy to get, yes it was easier to get in and out of in the past, working on it will give you a sore back,not a foul weather car (treat it like my motorcycle) sunny days only
. They do get into your blood though, when I got the S in 2003 sold our Triumph GT6+ and Cooper S and said that was the end of our Brit car days. But here we are with a 1960 Bugeye

Thanks, Jim. One problem I've had is finding a carpet that isn't faded or badly worn, especially on the driver's side. The rear section I found was still in the Honda packaging but I haven't installed it because it will make the front carpet I have now look pink.
If you do check, note that mine is a hatchback. Pretty sure it uses a different front carpet kit vs. the sedan.
I've used Majestic for quite a few parts on newer Honda's I have owned. But trust me, Honda dealer parts departments just don't have many parts for a first generation Accord. Most of what they still have are just fasteners, clamps, filters, and such. Places like Auto Zone and Rock Auto are great for rebuilt alternators and spark plugs but you won't find struts or OEM exhaust parts or brackets or body panels for the 1G Accord there. Fortunately there is decent support for most wear parts like hoses, belts, wheel bearings, brake pads, etc. I probably shouldn't complain. Not like this is an old Ferrari or like I'm trying to find parts for an old Citroen.
