hey people i had a question..i have a AEM v2 intake in my 98 accord v6 and i didnt have the splash inner fender shield protector u know the plastic thing under the fender so basically water cant go into the engine bay...well i didnt install one for a good 5 to 6 months and i was looking at all the dirt and grim in the engine bay ....i just finished up cleaning it...u think i should replace like the radiator hose and the spark plugs....bec its worn out and dirty

 

Odd question, what exactly are you trying to ask?

It's good to replace that stuff every so often.

 

this is what i am talking about..

98-02 HONDA ACCORD FENDER LINER SKIRT SPLASH SHIELD L<<<<

i didnt have that on my car and when it rained and snowed all the engine bay got really dirty and my spark plugs and wires under the hood are ripped and dirty.

 

How old are your plugs and wires? I believe on your car the plugs are due to be changed every 105,000 miles (since it's a V6) but new plugs are pretty cheap, if you are that worried about it just replace them.

As for the radiator hoses, replace any damaged hoses. And do a coolant flush / fill while you are at it, unless it's been done recently (your engine coolant is supposed to be changed every 45,000 miles).

 

I dont have one in either side.

 

yeah i have a aem v2 cold air intake so it goes down to my driver side front wheel and u can see it ....u kno that protector shield thing...where can u buy it soo my intake wont get wet???

 

I bought one for my ’99 a few years ago, new from the dealer, when my wife managed to destroy the old one (don’t ask). If I remember right, the cost was about $40 for the part plus maybe $5 or $8 for enough clips.

The toughest part of job was figuring out how it was supposed to fit and which clips to use. The way to do it is to find a friend with a 6th generation Accord and just park next to it, then put the splash guard on your car using theirs as a reference.

OK, since you really wanted to know, you know those cut-off telephone poles used to mark boundaries in some parks? About three feet high? We were at a local park for our son’s baseball game. My wife didn’t realize that one of those poles was in front of her in the parking lot since I had parked the car and they had just put those poles in the parking lot that week. She pulled forward and heard the tires starting to spin in the gravel (because she was up against that pole) and thought that her car was about to get stuck in gravel, so she gunned it and ended up driving the car up onto the pole. The car was then resting on this pole by the radiator mount. I really wish I had a picture of it but my main concern was getting it off of the pole and out of the park before a cop drove by and gave her a $75 or $100 ticket for reckless driving or whatever. I ended up having to use a friend’s floor jack to lift it up, then push the car back. After all was said and done the only damage to the car, besides a scraped up lower bumper and a ruined splash guard, was a bent radiator mount which I was able to pound back into place using a 2x4 and a mallet. I also had to adjust the hood latch a little bit. And no tickets were issued.

 

As a tip, I use Nissan/Infinity interior clips from Advanced Auto (pack of 5 for like $3)

 

so i can go to the honda dealer and order one basically for about 40$ alright thanks
