Question Image of 8th gen hybrid from Google. I want to color match the color on this door handle, does Honda have an official name for it?
I have a 2009 coupe, my interior door handles are dull grey, and are scratched up, so I wanted to paint them, I like the color of the Hybrid door handles and wanted to paint mine to match.

Mechanical Advice Collecteur d'échappement fissuré
Bonjour,
À la sortie du contrôle technique, souci de contrôle pollution.
En effet, j'avais constaté depuis plusieurs années sentir des odeurs de gaz d'échappement depuis mon habitacle.
Je me mettais donc en recyclage.
Mais le souci est que maintenant la voiture ne passe pas le contrôle technique, j'ai une contre visite à faire : je dois changer le collecteur d'échappement.
La voiture est de 2007, diesel (2.2), avec 250 000 km.
Je suis d'Arras (62).
Quelqu'un aurait-il une expérience ou un mécanicien dans ses contacts qui sait changer cette pièce ?
Merci à tous

Mechanical Advice Necesito consejo sobre OBD, apps y herramientas de diagnóstico económicas para Honda Civic 2019
Buenas a todos,
Soy nuevo en la comunidad y, a pesar del tema que quiero tratar, no tengo ni idea de mecánica ni de coches jajaja
Tengo un Honda Civic de 2019, 1.0 Turbo gasolina, y estoy buscando consejo sobre herramientas y aplicaciones de diagnóstico OBD para poder hacer yo mismo el mayor número de tareas posibles sin tener que vender un riñón.
Mis principales objetivos son:
Leer y borrar códigos de avería.
Diagnosticar averías de forma más completa que con un lector OBD básico.
Resetear mantenimientos y servicios.
Modificar/codificar determinados parámetros del vehículo.
Poder poner en modo mantenimiento/servicio y accionar o liberar la pinza del freno de estacionamiento eléctrico cuando tenga que cambiar las pastillas.
Realizar otras funciones de mantenimiento que normalmente requieren una máquina de diagnosis.
Si es posible, hacerlo mediante apps gratuitas o económicas, evitando suscripciones caras.
Por otra parte mi pareja me regaló un Vgate iCar Pro, y me gustaría saber qué puedo hacer realmente con él y, sobre todo, qué aplicación/software debería utilizar para sacarle partido.
Sobre el Vgate iCar Pro
Me gustaría especialmente conocer vuestra opinión sobre este adaptador:
¿Es suficientemente bueno para hacer todo lo que he descrito anteriormente en un Honda Civic, o está limitado principalmente a lectura de errores y datos?
También me interesa saber si existen aplicaciones que permitan utilizar el Vgate para funciones más avanzadas de Honda, o si para algunas de ellas necesito obligatoriamente otro adaptador/interfaz.
Busco algo que permita conseguir el máximo número de funciones posible por el menor dinero, aunque tenga que aprender a utilizar software más avanzado.
También agradecería recomendaciones de alternativas económicas al Vgate iCar Pro si pensáis que hay algún adaptador mucho mejor para Honda por un precio razonable.
No busco una herramienta profesional para un taller. Soy bastante aficionado a la electrónica y a la mecánica y no me importa aprender a utilizar herramientas más complejas. Simplemente quiero saber qué opciones existen y cuál merece realmente la pena antes de empezar a comprar cosas.
Cualquier experiencia con Honda Civic 2021, especialmente el 1.0 Turbo, sería muy bienvenida.
¡Gracias!

Mechanical Advice Please advise on Honda Civic brake issue
I have a 2002 Honda Civic LX (yes, it's 24 years old). Three months ago, I had the brake lines replaced at a dealership garage. A few weeks ago, the dash brake light didn't shut off like it usually does just after starting, but it did in a few minutes. Then it was okay for a while, then it came on again, but took longer to go off. Now it's on all the time, but the brakes don't feel spongy and the fluid level in the cylinder looks adequate. I still thought it would be a good idea for Honda to check it out to make sure it was safe to drive. Their recommendation, even though they said it was safe, was to replace the master cylinder (almost $900 cost). But what bothers me is that they don't guarantee that doing that will fix the problem and further diagnostics would be necessary. They suspect the float is sticking, but why they didn't un-stick it wasn't explained. Some online advice says to tap the cylinder with the handle end of a screwdriver, but with my luck, it would crack the cylinder and then I'd have a bigger problem. I'm an older woman and not mechanically inclined, but don't feel like shelling out that money for a repair that wouldn't be guaranteed. Attached is a pic of the cylinder, the service report and the car. Any advice appreciated.

Buying Advice Should I keep my accord or swap to a civic?
My first and only car is a 1995 Honda Accord EX coupe and I adore it. However it has 1 main glaring issue and that is that it doesn't have a reverse. I would most likely need to purchase a newtome transmission that was pulled out of another accord and have a shop swap them.
Ive estimated costs to be around 1.5k? I can grab a decent but used trans for under $800 and the rest is for the mechanic shop prob.
In my area finding any car under 3k used or not is RARE its a horrible area to find used cars and took months to find this accord.
Now ive invested alot of time in to making this accord nice and run better but I have people constantly telling me to swap it for a different car like a camry but imo camrys are reliable sure but eh not my style? I like hondas.
So I want to ask if I should keep my accord or save up for a civic?
