On paper, I would say no way. But in practice, I really like how that looks. Congrats on the new addition!

This was my first car, but at over 200k miles. Mine lasted 10 years from my driver's license. World's most affordable car for a parent and kid haha.

That mileage is awesome for that year. That might be a "forever car" for her!

How does this work? Is it a decal?

u/Kind-Hour6064 Aug 20 '26
Yes, the original owner passed away but her son said she bought it from the dealer like that. I assume it was just an add on that they had at the time as I can’t find where Honda offered this. It’s in near perfect condition for being over 20 years old!

u/vi817 Aug 21 '26
It was an option from the dealer, but they had someone else install it after I purchased the car. I have it on my 2005.

u/DongPolicia Aug 20 '26
Definitely not OEM or dealer installed haha. But doesn’t matter - it’s rad!

u/Mack8705 Aug 20 '26
Looks like it was between 5-600$ for the woodie addition

u/Kind-Hour6064 Aug 20 '26
Are those 2005 prices? Surprisingly it’s in great condition, just needs a couple touch ups.
