valet key, sunglass holder, and 5.1 DVD-A Sample disc.

oh and service records for the most part. I figured in 52k you possibly couldnt do that much damage... (got it inspected by a jap specialist before buying)

Only thing that was missing/fell off was the Acura emblem on the engine cover.

Funny how it cost so much more than it can't actually hold in coins/value.
I just leave a few dollars in quarters in the arm rest compartment for the carwash. Slides around when you lift it up to get to the compartment below but not a big deal.

Mine came with them but ordered a new set from ACKTL05 as others have already mentioned.

May be a stupid question but did they swap out bumpers as well? Otherwise there would be holes left over from the kit?

battery cover, spare tire and tools, plastic piece that covers the screw right behind the interior passenger door handle. All those things were because the previous owner had an audio system installed and when it was installed/removed they either lost these things or took them out because they didn't fit with the new system.

Sometimes the parts guy at the dealer has a box of them from vehicles that were purchased with the front plate holder already on.

Yea, the coin holder isn't even all that great to begin with. Not worth buying one, especially at that price. I swear my coins are always falling out of the back of the thing though. I like to keep change in the top compartment, but it always falls out the back onto the floor in front of the back seats. Either that or falls into the lower compartment. I just ended using a little holder that had gum in it and has a top.

It is hard to get a hold of all three keys unless you buy from owner who bought the vehicle when it was brand new and nice enough to handle over the keys, manual books and radio/navi code card. Other than that if you buy from a dealer then mostl likely you will get only one key lol.

Lug nut lock key. The little plastic thing it comes in with the extra lug nuts was in the trunk and that had been pulled out , Think the dealership probably took it.

Floor mats, which I had to heckle the dealer for for 3 weeks, finally got them. Needs RWD for this much power! Torque steer scares me sometimes lol.

After reading all of this, boy do I feel lucky. I bought my '06 a few months ago with only 45K miles on it from the original owner. He had complete service records, including his original invoice, receipts for a new battery, tires, etc. He had bought an extra set of keys so I think that I have four. All of the original manuals, docs, etc. too. Also got the lug nut key and the cargo net was under the tire. Only missing the sunglass holder on the driver side but I have the change holder under the arm rest. He'd also installed the iSimple interface and the cable is in the glove box. Now I just need an iPod to go with it.
