So I'm driving back home, parked the TL in the garage and didn't think much of it but I decided to look underneath my car and *BOOM* I see the passenger side plastic cover is loose and is literally dangling. I dunno how it's being held up, I don't have a jack for my car but I try putting it back in place and found the culprit.



Its the bolt and apparently it came off... WTF.
I'm not even sure what I should be googling up. Underbody plastic mold bolt?

Do I have to get an OEM one for this or can this be a universal replacement?

I try placing it back on but since its not bolted down it looks so weird. Sorry for the bad pics, iphone with flash...

 

you can use the OEM bolt or find equivalent size bolt. for the fender liner you can buy the clip at any Honda/Acura dealer.

 

^ agreed....pretty cheap and easy fix

 

So thats what its called huh, fender liner. Thanks. Sigh, now I gotta get it from an Acura dealer... ugh. I had my share of a bad experience with the one near me.

 

If you look under my car you would be surprised at how many bolts and honda clips my under body is missing... and yet 0 problems. lol

 

^ same here! those clips are soo easy to break specially up north where i live, but yet no issues ...just put them in certain places ...theres always extra bolts/clips haha

 

^^^i though it reduce weight.

 

the piece that goes under your car is call engine splash guard.

 

If you want to hold in place, just use a stay tie for the interim.

Same here..

 

10 replies and no one realized that the first pic needs to be replaced with a CLIP not a bolt?!

 

I wouldn't say that no one mentioned a clip:

 

The clip you need is part #91503-SZ3-003...I wouldn't worry about it too much unless it is dragging on the ground, you can buy them from a dealer or from www.acuraoemparts.com for $2.40 each.

p.s. I usually buy them 6x at a time because they break pretty easily and are universal clips for my 2006 TL/2002 MDX.

 

haha your acting up like your tranny fell off.. its just a plastic clip... no need to worry

 

2.40 each? Jeez..look at my ebay link and you can get like 40 for 4 bucks.
