alrite I was heading to Glendale on the 134 when I hear this loud clunking sound I look at the rearview and i see something black on the floor I thought i ran over a tire..so when i get to school I check the car out and absolutely nothing seems to be wrong as I was heading home i start to hear scrapes as I drive and go pass dips no matter how slow I went on dips it would scratch so thats when I get suspicious, when I get home I check the car again and this is what I find. So what I thought was a tire was probably the fender lining from the car, the funny thing is, is that i didnt see anything on the road when I heard the hit







and there goes my damn tires also..

 

Did it cut into the tire also? Unless it did, I don't see why you'd have to replace the tire. Sucks about the fender liner though.

 

no it didnt cut into the tire im just sad since those are new tires..I still have no idea what I hit

 

does anyone know how much it would be to replace the fender lining?

 

Get one from one of the online acura parts stores. You can DIY. Tire looks ok to me. What kind of tires are those? They look nice.

 

I'm going to guess what happened is your liner was not connected at the front correctly and was rubbing on the tire. You can clearly see how the tire has eaten into the plastic. It probably dropped low enough eventually that it went under the tire and was then ripped off. That would explain the not seeing anything in the road.

 

Minor damage. Mine was broken like yours, I bought the driver's side fender liner for $32.68 on acuraoemparts.com

 

Mineine ripped half way out while I was on the highway one day, it was the craziest sound ever. I thought I just lost my transmission. Luckily it was only the drivers side fender liner.

 

This happened to me the other day and scared the shit out of me.

 

lol damn this happened to quite alot of people huh... oh and btw the tires are toyo proxes4 awesome tires btw

I dont think it was loose I washed the car like 2days before that happened and didnt notice anything when cleaning the rims...

 

did you check the side skirts for any other scrapes?

 

I think Honda/Acura in general are known for this happening. About half of the ones I see coming towards me, the front thing is hanging down. I think the clips just suck that bad.

 

My front underbumper protector got ripped off somehow and I never even knew it happened. You can't even order that part according to the dealer and all the OEM parts websites. You have to get a whole bumper.

 

No, thats just the drivers that suck at driving and drive the fronts over parking curbs and rip shit loose. No clip in the world would help that.

 

Happened to my dads Honda Van. I was driving it one day and went over train tracks then herd something scraping and it was the plastic lining underneath loose. Sucks big time.

 

lol alrite heres a little update i went over to my local dealership today and they wanted 200!! for it installed wow what a rip off

 

This happened to me when I had my TL. The liner was less than $40 and the replacement clips were about $20. It's ridiculous that a dealer want $200 bucks when it took me less than 10 minutes to do this when it happened to me. Good luck with that...

 

yah i know thats way to much does anyone know what the part # for this is on acuraoemparts.com?

 

Look under "Front Fender"

 

is this it?
74151-S0K-A00 FENDER, L. FR. (INNER) 1999 TL 40.85 32.68

 

It would appear so...

 

??if your talking about the big black plastic piece that covers the underside of the engine i replaced mine like 3 months ago because it fell off and i replaced it for like 60 from the dealership... just fell off 2 weeks ago, damn plastic clips...

 

i just replaced mine 3 months ago because all the clips fell out over time... it fell off 2 weeks ago again because the plastic clips fell out...

 

and the plastic part that covers up my cold air intake was ripped off too... so i dono how safe my car is driving in the rain and i dont know what to cover it with... got any ideas?

 

go buy one from the dealer its like 50 bux
