Hey, I was wondering basically, how long do I have before it will be EXTREMLY hard to get factory parts from honda? For example, I want the oem lip kit and the fog lights, but how long do they carry those things for? I dont wanna wait too long and then I cant get em.

it should be for quite a while longer, i dont for sure though, but my friend with a 6thgen still buys stuff for his car from the dealer, and you can always find oem stuff online.

they're sapose to have all items in stock for ten years after the car has been made.

Really??!? Well that gives me a sigh of relief. Anyone have confirmation on that?

i think, by law they need to carry parts for a car for 6-7 years after the generation ends production

does that mean that they will up the price of it, or it will just become VERY hard to find

because I wanna keep the civic, I just dont wanna run out of parts to get.

for most parts, you can get off the internet. they're probably a lot cheaper than if you buy from honda also... even when honda stops making parts for seventh gens, there will always be aftermarket parts that can perform at or above the level of an OEM part.

not when you want the oem lip kit or foglights, none are better imo

yes its ten years... sometimes more if the car is common like the civic. and if they dont have it in stock you can have them order it of course. you will always always alwasy find a part for your car unlees its like some special bolt made one year for your car and you need it 15 years down the road.
