Yeah, I had my work done in the fall and here we are in the spring and it's as if the work was never done.

Back in the fall I even went to the Acura dealer trying to see if they would give me something towards the door skin repair since Acura knew about the issue, However, they wouldn't budge.
You might have better luck with a different dealer, I know some dealers are more willing to push with corporate depending on how corporate is choosing to handle this issue this far out now...

That sux... back 2-3 years ago I did the same thing: went to Acura dealer and they told me when the regional reps will be there... so I returned and asked for any goodwill consideration regardless of me being the second owner of the car... they looked at the car in their body shop (Libertyville, IL Acura) and quoted me $1400-1500 + door handle and gaskets if it needed replacing (!?) and their price for the part was close to $500 or something like that... so after all, their goodwill was to give me $500 discount... and pay $1400 pretty much ... after research I already knew ahead of time door handle will be something they require replacing as part of the repairs and I was right...

Decided not to fix it then as I was hoping if repair was $1000 to shell out maybe $500 but not more... FFW 2-3 years, had it done for $450 (door handle spot and passenger side above rear tire spot) - going back to revisit both spots with no charge.
