Painted it... just sprayed it lightly with many coats and the texture ended up being close to the rest of the pieces. Color is a little lighter than the other plastic... its noticeable if you're looking for it but I don't think it is really obvious.

Thanks! ![](http://www.acura-tl.com/ubb/biggrin.gif)
I had the piece all bondo'ed in and sanded professionally. To replace the sunglass holder you have to buy the whole map light and homelink assembly, which is $280. Plus the sunglass holder has a wood trim piece on it that would require me to buy a whole new $200 wood kit to replace. Chances are that I would've f'ed it all up if I had tried bondo'ing it.![](http://www.acura-tl.com/ubb/smile.gif)
I did do the painting, gives you a little more pride in your car when you get to do work on it yourself!![](http://www.acura-tl.com/ubb/smile.gif)
I'll have it professionally installed on Thursday morning... I don't fancy cutting wires to the ECU myself.
I'm sure its probably pretty easy but I'd like to have someone (besides myself) to yell at if something goes bad. ![](http://www.acura-tl.com/ubb/smile.gif)
More pics to follow!
