Does anyone know what the exact name or part # of that is? I would assume its the battery cover but i do not know for sure. Thanks.

 

Just curious, why do u want to know?

 

Wow, thats what my car looked like 5 years ago. It looks no where near as clean as that now. Man I loved that 3.0 engine...

 

Do you need the battery cover? I will sell you one cheap

 

Yeah i just OCD about it all the time and id like to pick one up to make my engine look complete.

PM me if you've got one for sale.

 

From www.acuraautomotiveparts.org
part number 31531-SS8-A00 COVER, BATTERY 1 1997 CL $9.14

 

Id assume it would be the same for 97-99, correct?

 

Shit for $9 you might as well just by a new one.

 

For some reason it doesn't have those parts on the 99's. I swore they made them for that year. if not, do you think it would fit mine? I don't see why not.

 

It's the same for the 97 and 98 for sure, I don't see why 99 would be any different

 

i have a 99, and mine didnt come with one

 

Do you think the possibly didn't have them on the 98 and 99's?

 

i think its possible cause a granny owned my car before me, and didnt touch anything.my back seats were still wrapped up in the rubberband from the factory, i dont think anyone had ever sat in the back seats. im sure she didnt take the battery cover off.

 

My 98 has a battery cover. I don't know why acura would take it off with all the plastic that are all around the engine bay which is designed to hide all the ugly engine parts and make the engine bay looker cleaner and nicer.

 

I think what might have happent is that when a mechanic went to unplug the battery or something they just took it off and forgot to put it back on. Thats the only explanation i could think of.

 

Thats exactly what I was going to say. I forgot mine at Chris's and he held it hostage til he got his screwdriver back.

 

I didn't see the circled thing at first so I was like "dude...that's your engine" lol

 

that's right bitch

I do believe I read somewhere about the 99's not having them once before. Check your plastic battery box, if there are clip holes (squares) around the top of the batt box, then you can snap one right on.
