The molding/2 pieces of plastic that cover the wipers underneath the hood that have the sprayers on them. Mine are gray and discolored and I can figure how to get them off to repaint them without forcing them and I am afraid to force them cause they are brittle. Anybody removed them before???

Your Acura dealership will also be able to pinpoint the exact piece you need.

This thread in the 3G Garage (which should always be checked first for questions like this) will help. https://acurazine.com/forums/third-g...wipers-891269/

If you want new ones, this will help.

Should be items 14 and 16. I used a 2005 TL to look them up. Should be the same for other years but you can check for yourself if you need to.

It shows them as coming with all the other parts in the picture, but you should also check with a dealer to see if they come separately, which would be cheaper.

IMO I wouldn't paint those unless you want some color other than black. Typically a good cleaning and then using some kind of "back to black" product is all that's needed their. With my car all of the black plastic like that (mud guards, under the bumpers, etc) all respond really well to a good cleaning and the same product I use on my tires. (Zaino Z-16 Perfect Tire Gloss). Tire stuff you say! Yeah, probably better stuff but 10 years and mine isn't gray
