Front License Plate screw caps

Does anyone know where I can buy the caps for my wdp front license plate screw holes. It does not appear that a plate has ever been put on it, but the caps are missing.

Go see if the parts department at your local Acura dealership has any laying around, and if they're nice enough to let you have them for free. Otherwise I think Acura lists them for $20ish.

it's under Front Bumper -> Bumper and Components -> Plug

Then choose the color of your car.

Only $6.84 plus $9.00 ground shipping.. so $15.84 for a set.

I just ordered WDP plugs. I'll let you know how they are, if you want to wait until I get mine.

But it's only $15, so it's worth a shot.

did you buy it from a dealer recently? they were supposed to put them in the glove compartment. ask them where the plugs were that came with your car. they usually have a bucket of the things lying around, ask the service rep if he can ask a mechanic if they have any lying around.

an acura dealership tried charging me 20$ for them...i just can't justify th purchase. 20$ for 2 little plastic caps, when they probably have them laying around all over the place.

i'll just keep my front plate in the front

or ask the parts department and they should have quite a few sets from folks who have had front plates installed.

If all of the suggestions fail, go to Home Depot in the fastner section with all the drawers of stuff and you will find push in plastic caps that work just fine. I think I paid 20 cents for a bag of two. Of course you will have to paint them the color of your car.

www.bumperplugs.com was what I used on my old IS300. They come painted perfectly for your car. They're made locally here in Charlotte too, which I liked.

I call them nipples. Because you have the front bra cover.. therefore they are nipples.

Got mine from the dealer. They had a whole box back in the garage area. My sales guy just plucked a couple and gave them to me. I've since have gotten them for a couple of local members. Don't dealers normally charge $20.00 each for them? That's robbery, since the car originally comes with them.

2 WDP ones por favor i thought there was a post about a person having a box full of these bumper plugs ? i remember looking @ the pic a while back...

kaleb from prestige acura (my local dealer) is charging 6.50 per plug which is one of our vendors here on AZ.
