Default need a new dipstick!

the rubber seal on my dipstick is getting hard and starting to crack so I need to get ahold of a replacement. Other than picking one up from my acura dealership any aftermarket ones that are nice and will add some "bling" under my hood.

99 integra GSR

Ask APC... they'll whip one up for ya. If not, check ricer.com

Just kidding around with ya... Why not just paint the (new) oem one??

why would an APC, or any other brand, dip stick be rice ? If it makes the engine bay look a little nicer, and you like it, go for it.

no kidding

sometimes I feel like taping a bunch of aluminum cans together and painting them silver.........almost the same amount of protection in a rollover........if you use duck tape then you double your chances of survival!!

HAHAHHAA LMAO!!! American Pieces of Crap company has fake roll cages?!?!?! Oh man... What else is going to come out from them. They already had a "All-Pimp Clothing" company- that lasted a good 2 weeks... Now they have "roll cages". You know, i wouldent mind buying one, putting it a old honda beater, then get in a "minor" accident, and sue the **** out of APC for false advertizing. "They said it was a roll bar! Why cant she roll?"

thanx for the pic (95 integra) I like the look of that one.

and thanx for keeping my post on topic. Those "show tubes" are hot though........if only they made them in clear you could throw some neons in them and be big pimping all night. I mean thats what roll cages are for right......just too look fast........thats the name of the game.

Why bother? The manifold is going to melt whatever you put on there.

I used an aftermarket dipstick on my old turbo teg. I burned out about 3 OEM dipstick and it was costing me so much so I opted for this one. It's aluminum based material and have no problems at all.


You can see it here.

I think it's do-ken. This one was worth it. Only cost a little over $20 bucks at http://www.jcwhitney.com and you won't be buying those OEM rubber dipsticks anymore. A must for turbo hondas. If you're all motor, don't even think about buying one. Stick with OEM.

Ive got the same problem. Greddy turbo 98 gsr. Im in the process of buying a new dipstick too. Mine is burnt to a crisp, no plastic left on it at all. Lighningmotorsports under specials is where i found one.

DB8GSR: is there any plastic or rubber to seal the tube? I cant tell from the picture.
