i am looking for the insulator that sits on the underside of the hood, does anybody know where i can get one? This is for a 1996 civic hood.

for that inulator? i don't think so..i've seen some before..check Majestic Honda or something

 

They are not available for 96-00 Civics (you know, what this thread is about?) in North America.

 

oh well shuttup then..lol jk me

 

Yeah, I've seen it on other Honda vehicles, but never a 96-00 Civic other than in the UK and Europe. They're pretty pricey new, IIRC. Upwards of 250 EU.

 

Yes, for that insulator.

It was sold in other markets. It was not sold in the US market for our cars. The cars you have seen them on were probably from other markets.

But I'm sure someone will come in swearing that the Si came with one. They did not. No US '96-'00 Civic had them from the factory or even as an OE option.

Here is the US hood (and assorted related items).


And here is the EDM one.


Sorry it took me a second to load up the other computer to get my info.

 

i know i could get them from honda of UK but thats going to cost a lot, i was hoping there was an alternative maybe Canada?

 

Never heard of them being in Canada, but it's possible. I can't recall having seen a Canadian car with one.

 

Nope, we're not that special either, if its any consolation the squirrels and mice just rip them apart to make nests anyway.

 

You've got to pay to play.

 

I know, and believe me i HAVE paid a good bit, but come on man, this is for my moms car i just want it to be more quiet for her

 

Dynamat makes a universal hood blanket.

 

I highly doubt a hood insulator will make the car any quieter where she would notice it.

Look into using Dynamat for the wheel wells, floor and firewall if anything.

 

might have to look into that, thanks

i think they wood, most of the noise i here when i drive her car comes from the engine bay, those damn sohc get kinda noisy with age, its a healthy motor and its not "loud" by our definition but you know... its fer me ma

 

I'm probably about the only one who would agree with her on this site.

I don't build my car the way others here usually do.

But anyway, when she's sitting in the car, Dynamat on the firewall will probably help reduce noise from the engine bay more than if it's on the hood. Wheel wells give a lot of noise too. I've been riding the last few days without my rear quarter interior panels and upper half of the rear seat after fixing a rattle in the rear deck (clip was loose - had to replace it and test to make sure there really was no more rattle).

It's incredibly loud compared to how it is with those normal hard plastic panels in the car.

 

i know what you mean, i just put the rear interior back in my civic, man i should have done it sooner, its so much nicer of a ride now...

 

Mine was only having that rattle since we installed rear speakers. I'm going over my car listening for any little rattles so I can fix them. I think the deck lock cylinder has the bars on backwards too. Right now it folds on the left if you turn to the right and visa versa.

Very annoying.

I like everything to work perfectly on my car, even if I don't use it.

 

minor OCD? what is this deck lock cylinder you speak of?

 

Those who know me have talked about this with me before.

The deck lock cylinder I'm referring to came on '96-'00 Civic coupes (and sedans IIRC). It's on the top of the rear deck and can be seen from the outside of the car, through the rear window.

You insert your key and turn to the left. This unlocks the left side of the rear seat back so you can fold it forward from within the car. Turn it to the right and it unlocks the right side.

For higher end models this also helps to protect items in the trunk more. Lock the valet box on the floor and then you cannot access the trunk area without a key (or crowbar and hassle).
