this is an OEM item but dont think it will look that nice

 

I'd say OEM rice

Although I do have the full set, battery tie down, shift ****, oil cap, and spark plug cover all in the polished finish plus another shift **** that I use to use in red.

I never rocked them on the car just added to the collection, which are probably pretty rare seeing as they dont make those parts anymore

 

I had the polished wire cover and the battery tie down when those items came out in 01, didn't look to bad.

I put the original wire cover back on recently and just left the battery tie down.

 

Meh... to each his own. If you like it great. If you don't there is nobody telling you to use it.

Not pointing the finger at the OP, but way too often people want the opinions of others and will only make decisions based on what others think.

Lets use Marc and Edwin as a perfect example, some may say "wtf you painted j00 wheels green". Do they care? NOPE.

They have a bunch of OEM type r stuff like that at my local dealership. It just sits on the wall. They also have old old Comptech strut/tiebars too.

to you. i'm not using this just using that stock piece of metal. just wondering why Acura made such an ugly optional battery tie down.

 

I have the blue one on my R Currently.

 

I recently ordered a red one for my car..its alot better then the oem one i have now that is half rusted and half rubbery.

 

Word,same here!
One half rusted and the other one rubbery.
I´ve ordered the polished one but have to change my battery for installation.
I can make a Pic when installed if you want.

 

OEM

 

RICE! I hate these stupid American Honda dumb items trying to make a buck. I think they do hire ricers out of LA to coming up with these items.

 

i have one of those in polish that sais "powered by honda" i like it, its weathered and not to shiney anymore but i think its the shizzle sure the blue/red ones are kind of homo though

 

I think it's rice, especially the red and blue....I mean MAYBE the red will work on a milano r but that's about all....

 

i kinda doubt that honda of japan produced that piece.......

i dunno, looks like a piece of crapshit to me

 

people would not say the same if it was written Mugen on it lol

 

I've had the red battery tie-down on my R pretty much since I bought the car new...

sorry, I don't know what came over me ... LOL !!

 

I used to have the Civic versions of that.
Those pieces where made by DC Sports for Honda.

 

RICE.....

^ agreed

 

No need to advertise yet another area of our cars with the "type-r logo". We have more than enough stickers and badges as is.

 

my ugly stock tie down with chipping black paint works fine

 

I painted my wheels green back in December. With red lip.
