If you're getting a new one, why not just get an upgrade. A stock one from Acura would proabably cost just as much.

make sure when you buy a new one that the top and bottom peieces are metal and not plastic....Acura has a bad problem of going to plastic whenever they can...I had my radiator on my ol' Legend die b/c the top plastic trim seperated and spewed all the fliud out into the engine bay. Got a new one from Ebay, called "Nokya" I believe, ran for 2 years no problems, then sold the car......cost me a little under 100 bucks

I just replaced my Radiator on my CL 3.0 for $580 at dealer. Man I feel taken. At least they gave me a loaner car for the day.
