you have to get a new key cylinder. make sure it comes with keys because you wont be able to use your old keys to start it. or...if you car is new engouh, i think after 88, you can call in your vin number to a honda dealership and they can have one made to match your keys. they will give you a ton of crap to make sure that you didnt steal the car, so it might be better to go in with your title to prove it to them. it really shouldnt be to hard to install the new one either, defintally something you can do yourself

that i dont know. its probobly not going to be the cheapest thing in the world. a quick call to your local honda dealership would solve this question quik though. let me know what they want to charge you, and ill see if i can get you a better deal

A new lock assy is like$120 on ebay with keys. It's an easy install and that white thingie you screw to the new lock assy with two little screws...you'll see it once you buy a new lock assy.
