I just sent him a message that says "THAT IS NOT AN EX. I am going to Notify EBAY about this fasle advertisement. No Sunroof, black side mirrors, no VTEC on the spark plug cover. "

Who does he think he is fooling?

Good job on spotting the fake man. Good attention to detail.

No sunroof
No CD player
Black mirrors and handles
No VTEC plastic spark plug cover
No cargo net
No EX style wheel covers

I don't think the LX has ABS like is listed either, does it?

nopers, that's still exclusive to the EX, I guess Honda thinks that LX, DX, HX owners are more deserving of a crash in the snow

Translated: Previous owner took us to the cleaners because we were too stupid to verify it was an EX before we took it off his hands. We didn't realize our mistake until we put it on Ebay and got complaints from people who know what they're talking about.
