i guess the only place you havent been looking is at the dealership or at their online website.
http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com
go there, put in your info. Find the part, it should be under front door window and find the regulator.Price should be around 120 or you can go to the junkyard but more than likely those are messed up if it's been in a crash depending which side it was hit.

That seems like a pretty high price, I hope the motor comes with it for 120, I thought Japanese prices were high but most regulators are lower than that. I would not buy a used one unless I had to, they only last so long and do have plastic parts on them.

Ebay usually has regulators both used and aftermarket available at reasonable prices. Try car-part.com to search for used regulators near you. I've used 2 used regulators and was well satisfied w/ performance.

good luck

Try a search in Texas at car-part.com for driver's side regulators. Best price was $65 in Houston.

good luck

go to 1aauto.com and get it. I bought mine from there for just over $70 I think.... with a lifetime warranty for the motor and regulator

The parts are probably the same but there are lots of different universal ones etc. go to that website and they'll show you lots of options plus they are super fast. call and ask if it will work for a 2 door.
