$2.48?!?!?!?!
In the process of removing my front and rear bumpers numerous times and just other assorted things I have done to my car I have broken quite a few of these plugs:
Anyways, I went to the dealership today to buy some more and the parts guy comes out holding a bag of 10 of them and said, "$2.48 each". I was like what?!?!? $2.48 for a little piece of plastic? And then I figured out that he was talking about the whole bag for 2.48. And I was like, "Oh, you mean $2.48 for the whole bag?" He said, "Ummm no sir. $2.48 for each one." I laughed in his face and laughed to myself the whole way out wondering if anyone actually paid that much for a little piece of plastic.
Point of thist post is two things:
1) Don't buy anything from the dealership because that are thiefs.
2) What is the part number on the plugs and/or where can I buy them at online?

ebay id: Park_acura actually works at a dealer and has an e-bay store. Send him a message and for something like this i'm sure he'll give you a great deal
If I caught you jacking anything off my car, I would shoot and then ask WTF you were doing after you were on the pavement.. But that's just me

Prick of the month
^Yeah, you just don't fuck with another man's car. I know t0ast was just joking but I've had several cars vandalized and it sucks because you know you're probably never going to find the asshole that did it and cops don't care.

nah man those "zipties" which are actually called wire ties are temporary, I used to do that on my civic since i had to remove the bumper all the time to adjust shit, and they snap after a few, but then again civics are notorious (ek coupes I mean) for the bumper flailing off
I remember seeing these on ebay, but I did a quick search and couldn't find em

if you think thats expensive ask the dealer how much for a hardware kit to mount an oem rear lip.....the guy tried to sell me the nuts and bolts for lik tens buck a pop....i laughed in his face and said i'll go to home depot and get enough nuts and bolts to kill myself for that price.....it was 100, if i remember correctly.....
also you may want to talk to some of the guys that have wrecked their car and are parting out.....

New ride...Acura MDX 2013
^^How about a 25pc bag of these for $15.85 & 
a 25pc bag of these for $9.99... if you do the math its like $0.63 and $0.40 respectively, the dealer really needs to re-think there pricing scheme
