Okay guys does anybody know where I can buy a new dash for my 2003 cl its warped pretty bad since its black and been in this Texas sun for all its life I wish the previous owner used a dash cover or something. The vents for the defrost are popping out and i sucked up the little square piece in the middle close to the windshield up in the car washes vacuum the other day. If somebody can give me some advise it would be awesome!

Just a dumb question...What the hell is that little square piece for anyway?

Its covering what I believe is the antenna? somebody correct me if im wrong but it looks pretty tacky without it there. Because the dash was so warped it was lose where it is supposed to clip in and hold tight.

maybe somebody is parting out there old cl? It would be nice if somebody was but I have not seen anybody in the parts section with a 2nd gen cl part out

All CL dashes are the same.

It covers the ambient light sensor for the HVAC system.
It looks like they discontinued making the whole dash so you would need to find a used one.

You can use a 2nd gen TL dash too

You may want to call around a few junkyards, you can sometimes search inventory online.. Getting a dash at the dealer would be damn expensive probably.. yikes

yikes. $924.00 from acuraoemparts.com

Installing that thing cannot be fun.

It's actually not that bad except for the wiring.

You sure? I recently went to some of the online OEM parts site, and none of them had the discontinuation disclaimer. Average pre-shipped price was in the high $700 range, though.


That's why I've procrastinated on mine. I know that I'm going to take longer than the other DIYer, so I'm waiting and hoping that my employer cuts us loose for half of Christmas week. That + weekend = plenty of time to bumble through this project.

When I was shopping my car Carmax gave me grief about the dash. Them I made them show me all the same years Honda & Acura cars on their lot to show them the dashes warp on all of them. Just the way it is. Mine was the same with the vents. Use some plastic adhesive to put the vents back in & live with it. The expense is not worth it & any used dash will have the same issues & likely won't even fit because it will be warped slightly differently.

With both dashes out of the car its not bad at all.

I went to the office honda parts site, estore.honda.com and it said it was discontinued and did not offer a price.
You may want to call the OEM parts sites and make sure they have it ready to ship out for you or if they still need to order it. My guess is that they need to order it.
