Nope. Rent a car, have someone drop you off, take a taxi, take a bus, etc. Most dealerships if they don't have free loaners can rent you a car, get you a cheap local rental, will drop you off or pick you up, or pick up the car from you. Sorry, but Honda is obligated to fix your car if it breaks during the warranty period, not provide you with transportation.
BTW, to the OP. Hopefully they will remember to blow the old rivets out of the tubing when they drill them out. Otherwise they rattle in there.

Update: the tops been replaced, and it looks pretty good...no complaints here, although my secret compartment won't lock into place cuz the tops in the way now...prolly just has to break in a bit.
Also filed down those hinges and wrapped some electrical tape around them for now, maybe some felt down the line or something when I get a chance.

The three pix below (not my car, pix collected from previous post) show the deal. I found on my car that the round edge on the frame hinge (black arrow) was sharp/burred and cuts into the top when the top is in the down position. In my car I rounded the edge with the file on my leatherman tool and put a patch on the wear spot.

nooo, the secret compartment does close. It's just when I open it, it doesn't click into place and stay up...after looking at it today, it's just that the top is not that pliable yet since it's new, so the vinyl pops out a little towards the back of the top of the compartment. When I gave it a little push, it stayed up so it's not a big deal to me cuz it'll be fine eventually...
Also, I went to A.C. Moore today, which is an arts and crafts store and got a sticky-backed black felt sheet...It seems pretty damn sticky on the back of it, so hopefully it'll stick to the bar or around it...
