2x500ml bottles (easier than 1x1L bottle) of brake fluid.

Search for type, as there's many opinions on this. I went with Prestone DOT4 and it's been great.

Power Steering fluid - not sure how much, but I'd stick w/ OEM Honda/Acura fluid. It has to be Honda compatible, so you might as well get the real stuff. I know they a few service advisors mentioned that you don't need to change the PS fluid unless its really dark and/or you lost the cap for the resevoir. Otherwise, its basically a lifetime fluid.

Check out Acura of Escondido on e-bay. They usually sell Honda/Acura brand fluids.
