Air Conditioning - can it be added?

My EM2 did not have A/C from the factory... its the only shortcoming of this car heh!

I'm thinking that I might have to sell it and re-buy another to get A/C...

But would it be possible to get A/C installed?

yeah, contact the dealer for a price on a kit. I'm guessing around $2000 installed

I came across this:

http://www.handa-accessories.com/civint01.html

If you scroll down, there is a "Air Conditioner Kit" in stock

Unfortunately since the dealer is in the USA and Honda is strict about their USA/Canada policies they can't ship to Canada.

I'm thinking, get the kit and take the car to a good mechanic to have it installed instead of paying the rapetastic labor charge at the dealer...
Looks like I will have to drive down to a Honda dealer in the USA just to get the parts.
