Where can I find undercarriage aluminium engine cover ?

[alexgomes]

I've been looking all over internet to find just the lower engine aluminium cover. I've found this https://www.hondapartsnow.com/genuine/honda~0~74110-teg-000.html?Make=Honda&Model=Civic&Year=2018&Submodel=&Filter=(bt=4,3138;et=2,4). But I think this comes with entire one piece instead of sub piece that I need.

Mine kinda bent from last week's snow storm. I had gotten stuck at one place where I tried to reverse-forward couple times to get out of it and I believe that's when it happened.

I think from 2016, all honda civic model has this piece.

I sent over 10 minutes trying to find this part on the Honda Parts websites, and then gave up in utter frustration. It's the part tou remove to do an oil change, as is as light and flimsy as possible -- no wonder it bent with a few snow flakes hitting it !!!

Going to try again ... 2ne time lucky, and will post a link if I find it. It must be there somewhere,, just a question of where !!!

Found this -- about $20 + shipping

Which is "A cover" but not necessarily for your car.

----------

The only ref I could find for your car was the Link you provided, and the part you need is part of a much bigger parts and is over $200 + shipping . !!!

For $200, I would take it off, and beat it flat again with a hammer and a block of wood.
Just make sure you keep the two air scoops, and do not beat those flat as well !!

(Nobody can see it under the car, and chances are, if you fit a new $200, the next week you will hit something like a dead squirrel in the middle of the road, and bend it up again !!)

OMG -- Shipping is about another $200 !!!!

My daughters came loose on her 17' hatch and I had trouble getting new bolts before she left for college. Now it's sitting in my garage until she comes home to visit. My 16' sedans was also bent and held up with zip ties when I turned in the lease. That piece is a p.i.t.a.!

I took mine off a few weeks ago, just to look at the Oil filter area, with plans to fit an Oil Filter Sandwich.
Two Threaded screws, and about 6-8 1/2 turn catches.

I really cannot understand how that comes loose, unless it is is not replaced correctly after, say an oil change. Those screws and 1/4 turn catches do not undo themselves, and are very secure.

Sucks if some model civics have the aluminum plate as a separate $20 item, and others make it part of a kit for $200.
Wonder if the $20 part would fit, or could be made to fit ..

The 1/4 turn fasteners are available as a separate oem Honda part (despite what your Dealer may tell you), and are a pretty standard fastener in any case, that could be got from elsewhere, not as a Honda Part. (DZUS fasteners)

Or, for $25 you can get a set of 10 if these, that can be pop-riveted to the Aluminum cover, and would never get lost !!

Looks like a good solution to me

I'm looking as well. Seen some for CRVs for $40, but my local dealership wants almost $200 for my 18' civic hatch.

I have one I can sell if you pick up from Illinois

Holy thread revival! Thought I'd update this with what I've found because I went through the same pain as everyone else.

https://www.hondapartsnow.com/genuine/honda~plate~fr~cover~74114-tgh-a00.html

This appears to be the part in question stand alone for a reasonable price, and shipping for me was just over $12.

Hopefully someone else googling for this part finds this useful.

I don't think thats for Gen10 Civics. There are aftermarket ones like this https://ebay.us/UMqbvc on ebay. Has anyone tried one of them?

I bought it and put it on my 17 Type R, it was a perfect match for the mangled one I took off.

Oh the site says it won't fit mine. Probably cuz I have a 2l.

Yea that's possible, reading through the thread it was sounding like they were all the same, bummer it doesn't fit other civics.

Hi everyone,
Thanks for all the comments and recommendations.
I have already replaced this piece once, and now need to replace it again. My question is, if I don’t replace it, what’s the worst that can happen?

I just found out mind is missing. I believe the dealership left it off and I have been driving around for months without it.
