Door-handle trim fell off
So I went to get in the car yesterday afternoon and discovered that the door-handle trim on the front passenger side was either (1) pried off by some moron or (2) managed to fall off. This is the little blank piece that has a keyhole on the driver's side.
So does anyone have any suggestions on a good place to get a replacement? I can go to the dealer but they'll probably charge an arm and a leg. Thanks in advance!

That sounds about right - I was looking online for the price for you but couldn't pin it down w/o the number.

I paid $11.90 for mine through Owners link and they shipped it right to my dealer. It will might be cheaper through acuraoemparts.com (Delay Acura).
I bought the passanger door piece for a diffetrent reason, as I used it on my driver door to cover up the key hole :o )

IIRC, the part numbers were in one of the shaved door lock mod threads.

Just be careful when ordering by the part number, the part numbers are different according to the paint color. Please provide your vin# or body color and I'll research the part #

Spoke to the dealer and it's only $12 for a replacement, so I'll just go that route.

The same thing happened to me last year.
I discovered the passenger side missing one day (probably fell off on the way to work). I brought the car to an Acura dealer, as it was still under warranty. They checked the caps on other doors. These caps have little tabs that are supposed to lock. All 3 other doors had problems, too. One door had one of the tabs missing (broken), another cap was installed incorrectly and only the lower tab was locked, and the cap on the 3rd door handle had a crack in one of the locking tabs.
The dealer wrote up an inspection report to Acura and replaced the caps on all 4 doors under warranty, with no charge to me.
