Hard to source if you don't know what size they are going need.

You can buy them from Honda .... if you know which one you need.

Buy the largrest/thickest one from Honda then get your install guy to "Surface Grind" it down when he knows the size he wants.

[QUOTE]Steven, unless Jeff has taken my advice I gave him a few weeks ago, the fitting kit does not include this biggest spacer - the part number is 41387-PCZ-003 (3.455mm) and it is
