Yeah, anything Honda touches is exorbitantly expensive! Had a list of 12 accessories so boy, do I ever know. Just went with them for convenience and since I DON'T have mechanic buddies nor am I a "DIY" type of gal...
NOT having a block heater in Canada is ridiculous with our winter temperatures, I agree. Wouldn't even consider not having one plus the remote starter...

Nah not going OEM, too expensive...well the dealership actually contracts out to a local company and they install the Compustar Pro, and apparently they do a good job. But I went to another garage in town and they're going to charge me 600 cash for the Compustar Pro (top of the line one), INCLUDING ALARM (the dealership deal of 715 wasn't including the alarm). And they said that it's a 4 hr install so it should be okay 
Another thing, all the Honda dealerships install block heaters on all their cars here, and is included in the cost I believe. And it was exactly for that reason: it's cold here, there's no point selling a car without a block heater. Though to be honest I'd rather it be an option 'cause then I could just buy the part and have a friend install it for me, which would cost me <$100 bucks, whereas the installed cost from Honda is nearly 200 bucks....huge rip off.

Really? Well that's just plain wrong (the installing it without asking then charging). It should be included with the purchase price in Canada, just like how we get the low windshield washer fluid warning light "free". Some things we Canadians just can't do without in a car...
There's a shyster dealer in town that also adds the "mandatory" floor mats and mud guards too! I didn't buy from them.

Really??? Holy cow. Kind of starting to think I had a decent dealer after all. Well, he DID try to sneak in $399 for window etching (promptly removed from my contract when I finally noticed)....

He's making Pufferfit decals for those of us who want in but is having, um, "technical" issues with printing. You know about Pufferfit, right? Crap, add is off of You tube! Oh no...

Oh he's ok. We kid around alot so I "get" his humor. Just needs another holiday is all. Oh wait, he got back from Vegas last week and is leaving on a cruise Sunday.... hmm...see, like to torment him is all...
Wink means joking. Something we do to amuse ourselves without malice to pass the time.

Well, my office's new vacation policy is to use all of our yearly vacation days before the end of the year or else we lose them. So I'm using them.
Boy, some riptide apparently carried us away from the original topic. Oops.

You find me a place to get cheap red emblems (front, rear and steering wheel) that fit perfectly, and I will definitely give you + rep . And don't refer me to JDM 'cause he said he's not taking orders until next year :X

This is great! You're both trying to scam +rep out of each other. You may have met your match Mr. Designer....
