i broke mines too when i took out my dash. i broke off the whole vent flap thingy!! they're attatched to the whole piece that goes around your gauge. the price to replace that whole thing is expensive. try going to your local dealership and just ask them for the price of that whole piece. i know a guy who sells acura parts and told me he'd sell it to me for $184.53 (thats the price shipped to your door.....shipping and handling is included). just go to your dealership and see how much they'll charge you. if its more then order from this guy...if not, go ahead and get it at the dealership.

www.hond**********.com and ask for tim

I almost broke my vents when I swapped out my gauges for the Indiglo ones. I didn't know that they were so damn flimsy when I took the dash apart. You just have to be EXTRA careful when you take it out. As for getting a replacement part, try Tim here at this site, or check out http://www.ahmotor.com .
