Type R Engine cover
 

here's some pic of the engine cover i installed on my A Spec today, useless mod but we are very limited on what we can do to our RDX.
Sorry for the dirty car but it's winter here in CANADA =P

I like it! I did something similar on my 1G RDX when I had it and we all know red ads 5Hp easily haha.

P.s nice to see an RDX SH-AWD in its natural environment ha.

nice.. looks cool.

man ur car needs clear bra.

Man . Looks great . I think white is the best color for Aspec . Very storm trooper-ish.

it does ;)

Came to ask this question and glad it was answered before I needed to.

100 whp for a domestic.

How much for the cosmetic mod, would look good on my Modern Steel

OK, I'm sold. I see several on EBay that look similar (but are thy identical?) Do you have a part number or something to aim me in the right direction?
Wish I could find some kind of brake caliper cover in red too (mine is a 2019 A-Spec white ext/ black int)

Hello 👋🏽
What bolt did you use to hold down the cover? Thanks in advance.

Remember my red emblem?

same bolts for the type r bought at the dealer

Is it a direct fit?

yes

I bought the type R engine cover, tried fitting it but could not get the holes to line up. Can you tell me how you got it to fit properly.

Finally did the engine cover swapped

That’s exactly what my 5 year old niece said this weekend when she saw my car for the first time!

Is the Engine Cover plug and play? Or are different bolts needed to install this, example the Type R bolts that are used to hold it down in the Type R?

Thank you all for the help.

You need to purchase 4 mounting bolts. I previously posted the part number.

Was going back and forth on doing this after digging this thread up but when i finally decided to grab it ... was national backorder and 300 on ebay
after 4 phone calls to local dealers... one said he had one and its been sitting there for a year , someone ordered and didnt pick up so i drove over and grabbed it today.

Will pop on when the weather is nicer!

Civic Type R engine cover:12500-5BF-A01
Engine cover bolts: 90014-R40-A00 (need 4)

Thanks, I appreciated.

Not gonna lie. I like it.

I'm in!!! I installed my new Engine Cover this afternoon. The only tools needed were an 10mm open ended wrench and a 10mm socket wrench. It took a little while to figure out how to remove/discard the OEM bolts and install the new Engine Cover bolts.

Thank you to all the contributors who posted on this thread. I will confirm the parts: Civic Type R engine cover:12500-5BF-A01 and Engine cover bolts: 90014-R40-A00 (need 4). Order from a Honda dealer near you.

The increase in HP and performance is better than running premium gas v regular gas, but that's not important now.:thumbsup:

A LITTLE OVER BOARD IN MY END, BUT WHEN REPLACING WITH THE NEW TYPE R COVER 4 OUT OF 5 BOLTS WILL ONLY BE USED LEAVING A AKWARD BOLT EXPOSED. SO I REPLACED MINES WITH A M6 DRESS UP BOLT FROM DOWNSTARINC. PERSONALLY FOR ME IT LOOKS GOOD AND IT GIVES IT A PERSONAL TOUCH.
