I'll look into it for you. If enough CL owners show interest, we can custom make a batch if the current ones don't fit. PM me about this.

Hey guys,
I have a set of the climate knobs from Hamony chhon. I never installed them. If you want them you can have for 20 shipped. I also have a set of the 2 door locks. I'll sell those for 20 shipped or if you want all of them I'll sell them for 37 shipped. He was getting 35 a set for the knobs and 30 or so for the locks if I remember right. He also will not make anymore knobs or door locks. I had a friend who wanted a set before I decided to not use mine and he said nomore will be be made. So here is your chance to own a set. These were created for the Acura but will work on the 98 to 02 accords also so I'm told.

These were made by Hamony. I think he made a good product. They look good IMO.

They won't fit. We'd have to make a special batch up for the CL's. The question is how much demand is there? Hamony probably stopped making it because there wasn't enough demand to make another short run. That's usually the reason a manufacturer would cease making a product.

I'd have to double check the minimums again, but let's use 50 as an example. In order to make the pricing worthwhile and the time taken to do measurements and R&D, 50 units would be a minimum order. That's 50 in brushed aluminum and 50 in brushed titanium. So we'd have to order a 100 of these to make it worhwhile. So now we're stuck with 50 sets (u need 2 right?). With only 10 people interested in it, that leaves the individual stuck with a stock of 40 pairs of CC knobs with no one to sell it too.

That's usually the reason why its difficult to get these types of products. Keep in mind, i'm just throwing out the number 50. A lot of places require a minimum order of 500+ and charge you R&D fees as well.

If there's enough interest, maybe I can email him to find out which manufacturer he used and find out what the minimum are. But that's only if there's enough interest

^^ I guess it would depend on the profit you want to make also.. If someone sent me a knob from the first batch I could take the dimensions easily and eliminate the R&D.. I work in quality control and could have those for you no problem.

I agree with Jonesi if that would cut the charge for R&D and help out to lower the selling price on these custom nobs that should be the way to go. Titanium here please!

please DO NOT buy products from "harmony" or "hcchon"

he is an unreliable vendor and has not made steps to improve his order fulfillment.
