What I've learned. Hope it helps.
I've had my 03 UL for 2 months and have run up 10K miles. I've learned a few things I hope will be helpful.
1. You're gonna need pry tools. Common knowledge to some. The interior is all pops, clicks, Phillps heads, and 8mm.
2. Instrument cluster bulbs are dealer/online. I shopped around to pay $6 instead of $11 each.
3. JP-GENUINE on Ebay is a great OEM discounter. Got my replacement front cup holder for half what the dealer asked.
I'll add more as I think of them. What have you learned?

There is so much more to learn, like all the hidden features available only to UL models. Time to hit YouTube, you will be shocked how many things you didn’t know.

Yeah I thought $136 was a great deal for the cupholder new OE, then a couple mos. later I see it going for $90's, list is $221. I was gonna do the dollah store screw fix thing and my buddy said c'mon dude, it may be a 2006 but it was a flagship car, spend the $140.
Always check eBay, it was explained to me that if parts sourced from Japan, very low prices, if USA distributor, maybe 31% off list tops. eBay sellers have both, and they are legit parts and the same (i.e. nothing distinguishes genuine gray goods).
