You do get more choice if you go to usa. Ie if you want white.

Congrats.

Congrats dbchang. I'm glad to hear that this nightmare is over for you now. I just had mine pass inspections on Monday as well!

- honda of usa refused to help me, my car was deemed as a grey market vehicle

- honda of canada does not support canadians buying an american car

- dealerships in the us will only get a recall letter for you, nothing else

i need an insurance agent now! i think there was one on here (i don't remember who) i'll give you my business!!

thanks,

d
so how did you solve it? would be nice to know in case this happens to people in future.
