I need help finding random parts for my Integra. I'm missing the rubber strips that go between the fenders and front bumper and one little white clip. I called the Honda dealership and first they asked what car I have and the second I said Acura they said they have no way of looking up parts. Then when I called Acura they said the rubber strips would be $26.00 each and the white clips about $4 each. Is there anyway I can get these for cheaper?

And also my catalytic converter is rattling and the Acura dealership said that would be $833.25 and that the o2 sensor would be about $250. These prices are ridiculous, I'm not going to spend over $1k on a rattle. What can I do about my random parts and the catalytic converter? Shouldn't an aftermarket Catalytic converter be better and cheaper? Where can I find one?

 

I also tried going to Pick n' Pull for my random parts but wasted money on the $2 admission fee because not only was there only one 3rd gen Integra, there was nothing left on it when I found it.

 

You should check whats making your cat rattle... when I installed my cat back I took it off and found that the heat shield rotted through completely at the bolts so thats why it rattled and I just took the cover off and it doesnt rattle anymore... as for them charging you $250 for an o2 sensor you can get them for like $75-80 on http://www.sparkplugs.com... you could also just go with a high flow cat and it would be way cheaper than $800.

 

I don't know where I could get a high flow cat, I've browsed through sites selling mods but usually all I find are cat back exhausts which don't come with cats. The site for the sensor helps though, thanks. Still no word on the random parts though, any ideas?
