sure you can.
But for all my studies if you have a credit card you can order from College Hills Honda (Ohio) or Bernardi Honda (East Coast and I think even a bit cheaper than College Hills) a week early and it would be at the address you are staying at by the time you get there. Both of the above will be a lot cheaper than walking into your average dealer.

Just be aware that some parts won't fit your Jazz. The bumper applique would be an item to check because the bumper is quite different.

I would go with College Hills or Bernardi (my preferred) online as well. I'm sure the amount you save would more than make up for shipping costs over what the dealer charges.

Or you can just goto the Honda eStore and find the dealer nearest where you will be and set the items to be picked up there.

No it doesn't work that way in the US of A. You can buy anything from anyone if you have money!!!

Anything that would prevent them from doing business with you would be viewed as a restriction of their God given freedom and rights. They won't let that happen.
