Where to buy OEM front grill for FL5 Type R?

[Torsion]

Anyone know where I can buy a replacement front grill for the FL5 Type R? Mine has a bit of damage and I'd like to replace it. I believe the part price is about $250, but my local dealer is marking it up to over $500, which seems like robbery.

There are plenty of Honda dealers selling discounted OEM parts online (Google it).
Hondapartsnow.com is one (of many) I've used before. Prices are about 2/3's list, plus shipping.

BTW, dealers selling discounted parts generally treat internet sales as a side business. Hence the web name won't match the dealer name, but it often shows on the return address.

I believe that the part number for the grill is 71200-T60-J01

prices are around $150-$160 plus shipping (some are local pickup only)

wow, attempted to place an order, shipping to California is nearly $400

"Dimensional weight," as they call it, is a bitch. Large/wide things are more expensive to ship because they have awkward shapes and take up more space in the truck than smaller boxes, thus displacing items that UPS/FedEx could have made more money on.

Looks like Honda Parts Now is located in CA. That may not mean this is where parts will ship from, but hopefully it’ll help the shipping cost situation. Sometimes giving these places a call can be more helpful than going thru their automated system online.
