just wondering where i can pick them up other than honda.
Can you please explain why you don't want the Honda ones? I believe most (all?) accessories vendors are just re-selling the Honda ones, I have never heard of any non-Honda plugs. The advantage of getting them from Honda is that you don't have to pay for them.

Ravenwork gave you a link to a Honda dealer that sells them for $3.41 each. That's a far cry from 20 bucks.

Actually, I remember I was going to order some for my late ITR a couple of years ago, but the dealer wanted $8 EACH! $16+tax for two plastic plugs the size of a quarter? Yeah, no thanks.

That's why I said you don't have to pay at Honda for the plugs. They give them away for free to whomever asks for them. Just go down to your local Honda dealer and ask.

Whom did you ask at the Honda dealer? If you asked at the Parts department, they will charge you. They don't give away "parts" for free. You have to ask the service advisor or the service mechanic. The little plugs come with every new car from the factory and are removed when they "prep" the car for sale (called PDI for Pre-Delivery Inspection). Most times the mechanics in the service department doing the PDI would collect these little plugs and put them in a box or in their drawer -- a lot of times they just throw them away as trash. Some service mechanics would save them for the eventual buyer by putting them in the glove compartment or the "secret" compartment. But somewhere in most service departments would be a collection of these little plugs. You just need to find the right person to ask. And if they don't have any of your color at that moment, you just ask them "Hay, the next time you do PDI on a Silverstone car, can you save the little plugs for me?" Most times they would do it for you IF you have a good relationship with the service advidor.

In general, get to know your service advisor at your local Honda dealer, they can do wonders for you -- things like doing free TSBs long after your warranty has expired, doing minor adjustments for free, getting you the little plugs for free, and so on. Good luck.
