mine broke so i was lookin to get another one for my 01 gsr. called acura and they said they sell the 94-99 and the 00-01 seperately. the 00-01 is about $80 more but they guy said he doesnt know if the 94-99 will fit my 01.

any help?

 

no one knows?

 

I don't know. I tried looking it up on one of those website parts catalogs, just to see if the part numbers are the same, but couldn't find it. Maybe ask Len?

P.S. They're hardboard, not solid wood (as most people would infer from the topic title).

just make your own....

 

If they indeed have different prices and part numbers they are different. Honda wouldn't make the same part into two "parts" to make more money, they would probably lose money.

 

well, drove 30+ minutes to pick up a used one from a guy parting his 94 teg. unfortunately it doesnt fit. the 94 is about 1.5 inches longer and 1 inch narrower so it needs some modifications.

curious on how you made yours?

 

Indeed they are different. Just get whatever you wanna use back there. You can go to home depot and get a board, then trace your busted one on top of it. Then cut it out and bam your done.

Yep, thats what I did. I think it cost like 8 bucks in wood and about 5 mins of cutting time then 5 more mins with my sander making it pretty and smooth.

Fiberboard is wood

Not exactly. Most people who hear the word "wood" assume it refers to solid wood, which consists of solid pieces cut from a tree, characterized by the same density as it would if it were one solid piece of wood cut from the tree. On the other hand, the Integra spare tire cover is made from hardboard, which is a wood product that has a lower density than solid wood. You can read more about automotive hardboard here on the website of Georgia-Pacific, a leading manufacturer.

However, if you decide to fabricate your own spare tire cover (as some are suggesting in this topic), you could do it from solid wood, or plywood, or fiberboard, or hardboard, or any other material you like.

well, get a piece of plywood, cut out the same shapes / holes and replace it

Not to burst your bubble, but I am a Wood Products Manufacturing major at NC State University. I know everything there is about wood... Wikipedia has very little correct information in their whole paragraph.

I could go in to detail, but this isn't the proper forum, nor do I have the motivation to do so.

If you want to learn about it, you can PM me

PS Just because it's bothering me so much, particleboard is not the same as fiberboard (or vice versa). Nor can they be substituted for one another. They are made by two COMPLETELY different processes.

Then you, too, know that solid wood, as most people would infer from the topic title, is not the same thing as hardboard or fiberboard.

Then go into Wikipedia and correct it. (Anyone can submit corrections to entries in Wikipedia.)

Then you, too, know that wood is not the same thing as fiberboard, which WAS the original subject of discussion.

So, is the hatch cover made of fiberboard or particle board?

Do you also disagree with the American Fiberboard Association definition?

Of course fiberboard is not the same as solid wood (if that's your point..). I never said that. However, you're statement was "Fiberboard is not wood." Tell me, then, what is fiberboard made out of?

Hint: wood fibers (lignin) and a phenolic adhesive.
FYI: Some particleboard may be bonded by phenolics, but most is bonded by urea-formaldehyde.

The spare tire cover (NOT hatch cover) is S1S hardboard, not particleboard.


*Edit: and this was NOT the original topic of conversation. The OP wants to konw if there is any difference between the covers of different year integra's.

That's correct. Wood implies "solid wood", not any product made from wood. Otherwise, paper would be the same as wood.

Fiberboard is not solid wood. It is a wood product made from wood. NOT the same thing.

BTW, it's "your statement", not "you're statement". Are you SURE you're studying at the college level? Does your university offer classes on spelling?

The misleading use of the word "wood", now clarified as S1S hardboard (thanks), appeared in the original topic title.

 

Oh give me a break. It's a wood composite. Wood does NOT imply solid wood by any means. I mean goddamn, if you thought hardboard is made of solid wood, you're a f*cking moron. Therefore, your original statement had no significance whatsoever.

Paper would not be considered wood because it goes through chemical processes to get to the final product. There are no chemical processes when manufacturing hardboard.

And i'm sure you've NEVER mispelled a word in your life

You're way out of your league here, bud, and your googling won't be able to save you. Just admit the fact that you're wrong, instead of trying to find a loophole to make it seem you're right. You're just like every other honda-techer whose post count has gotten to their head.

Bottom line: Fiberboard is composed of wood and glue. That's it. IT'S WOOD.

Just go to home depot and get fiber board and use a jigsaw..i had some remains of my old one and just traced it.

 

This thread is going off topic. So bottom line, the two boards from a 94-99 vs a 01 is not the same.
