does it look anything like this


I dont know how much it cost to get a new boot but its a special order part from honda so you better order it now... im sure this will only take a few moments to change out.

i dont know the part number..... im just asking if anyone else has had this replaced.... and yes it looks just like that picture, assuming it was clearer

edit: someone told me it was $40 for the parts and something about having to be pressed in or something. Is this true?

You can get the parts only from Honda. Had to replace one on 1996 Honda Accord. It was a pain in the ***.

the honda part # for an integra gsr boot is 51225-SR0-A01

Should be the same as a civic one, might want to double check with someone on here, like Tom.

I ripped both of my lower boots when i did my swap. Just get the replacements from honda, remove the retaining rings, remove the old boots, pack the new ones with grease. Install is the reverse of removal.

Easy...
