yep i got it, thanks guys i really appreciate the help

 

umm i notice a little modification to my post....

 

Much easier to look at!

 

yea that little plastic peice is an expenisive little peice of shit.. i had to buy one because it cracked.. its like 50 bucks for a peice that i think does nuthin..... and taking those little plastic bolt clips are a pain in the ass to take off if they are messed up and cost alot for just 1

 

i see...its true it is....

 

Yeah, just like all the other plastic crap under the hood now...just to make it look nicer. Especially on the 3G...the whole engine bay is covered in plastic. You spend most of your time pulling all that crap off before you can even get to working on the car.

 

audi engine comparments are worse!

 

Atleast it looks nice

 

Yea, I say don't even worry about it unless it really bothers you.

 

That's true...especially when they are really clean and painted.

 

my dads friend works at a collision place that was bought by piazza ardmore acura and he got me one of these for free. mine was cracked when i bought my car. those snaps are a bitch to get out though. try talking to the collision division of your local acura dealership or snag one off a rear end totalled tl. this piece doesnt have to be mint to do its job
