I've never seen anyone say why it's like that, but you are not alone.

fwiw - My kaa already had a gold carbon-fiber kit installed in the interior when I bought it from my neighbor...which included both vent covers - lol

I'm up to 111,000 miles now & still haven't opened the motor yet

**as I go knock on wood...**

I hope you go 200,000 without opening up the motor!

As long as the motor lasts until I replace the stock suspension in a few weeks, it's all good...I'll have an excuse to upgrade then!

my car which I just got has 20000 on it and I hope to put well over 10000
in the time I own it which I plan on 10 plus years. I will change the oil religiously and plan to leave it bone stock but the more I read the more
I am considering building a all motor performer but I will not sleeve the block
maybe cams I/H/E and possibly a computer upgrade. maybe a CTR piston
upgrade to go with the cams. I wonder if the head will flow enough with
the higer compression pistons and bigger cams?

When Acura sent me a survey form, that was one of the only complaints I had was the black passenger vent. I felt ripped off, I want my fake carbon fiber!!!!

They didn't want it to get lonely in the corner all by itself.

I think that Acura knew passengers would be jealous of the Hype R & try to steal the vent cover for their LS's when exiting the said vehicle...just a thought
