I think eBay is your best bet. Look for wrecked cars on eBay it doesn't matter what part the listing is for, just send them a message inquiring about what you want and see if you can cut a deal.

Best of luck to you.

lol it was next to impossible to find one, everybody who actually HAD an RL wanted to sell me the entire bumper, and a bizarre amount of other RL's I found also had only that corner piece missing...weird lol. Good luck to you.

Cool

Over time repeated bumps on the front bumper will cause the trim pieces to develop a gap between the bumper and the trim piece, and drive-through car wash equipment will eventually rip it out and you won't notice it missing until it's to late to go back and look for it. I replaced my left corner chrome trim piece 7 years ago when I bought my RL from my brother. You can order it at any dealer or use an Acura on-line parts dealer.

Left Corner: Part# 71125-SZ3-000
Right Corner: Part# 71120-SZ3-000

also... Craigslist and search Acura RL... in St. Louis we have several junkyard that post up wrecked cars and part them out on there. Never hurts to try your city and do a search like that

This is EXACTLY what happened to me, I kept pushing it back in but eventually the piece disappeared

As far as junkyards go, I went to 4 different ones and only managed to find 2 RL's from 99-04. Both were completely stripped. I called 87 junkyards around the country (counted on the phone log lol) and finally found one in FL that was willing just to sell me the molding (because the rest of the bumper was torn up). Sure you can get it from Acura or the other online place, but I didn't want to spend $50 replacing it. Luckily I got mine for $20 including shipping. If you keep looking long enough, your bound to find a good deal on a used part

I know the feeling. I want to sell my Honda Legend grill and pick up a replacement Acura grill, but everyone still wants $250+ for the grills...

Found a guy in NC with a grill for $50 and won't ship. I offered him an additional $50 because I'd still come out ahead, and he wouldn't do it. Womp womp
