If you bought the car from them, they should give you a set for FREE. It is part of the car. If they don't give it to you, I'd say you should complain. But, you can also go to other Acura dealerships to ask them for a set of bumper plugs. If you truly, truly want to pay for a set, here you go: http://www.oemacuraparts.com/partloc...layCatalogid=0
$10.74 for a set.
Still, don't pay for 'em. 2 cents.

Maybe you can post a "WTB" thread in the Black Market?: https://acurazine.com/forums/non-automotive-motorcycle-sales-9/
Otherwise, I think it's worth a try to go to different dealerships. Some of them have a stash of caps in a box behind the parts counter. If not, I guess you have to pay for them?

Here's 4 caps from Ebay for $9.45 for the set. They are $4.95 for shipping.

If you're in a state that doesn't require front plates, then maybe the dealership won't just have them sitting around and needs to order them...BUT, if you live in a state where the front plate is required, then the dealers will have bins FULL of them from all the deliveries, so if they still want to charge you $16 for them, then tell them they can take those plugs and shove em up...well you know

I have asked a few dealers I went to and none of them seem to want to help me for free. They do an act and say they throw them away. (liars!) They rather sell the part to me. (no thanks.) I would have to go to PA to see my original dealer. (who mounted my front plate holder and didn't give me the caps.) Maybe next time I am in Philly within the next couple months....

Home depot has various size vinyl plugs for about $1. People have been using them to plug spoiler holes in many different cars. If it doesn't match your color, you can always paint them. It'll still cheaper than $10 for 2.

When I bought my TL I asked my sales person for the plugs. We went in the back to the garage and they had a box of them. So he plucked two out for me. No charge.
