guys the dealer wants $16! for two little plastic caps?
im talking about the caps that go on if you take off the front lic plate holder.

anyone know where i can get them cheaper?
04 gray

 

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.

 

i bought a used tl not through acura - how or why would they give me anything for free?
10.74 a set - yea plus ship probably the same thing

 

I see. Maybe you can go back to where you bought it and ask them to get a set of plugs for you? If for nothing other than good will.

 

i bought my tl from some guy privately to save on the bill

 

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

 

GGESQ- thanks for that link i hope he still has some!
STEVEN BELL- those are lic plate screw caps- im talking about the bumper caps
i will try to ask another dealership for them for free but i doubt theyll hand anything over.

 

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.

 

find a way around...got them for free here...just asked

 

does anyone have gray bumper caps for free on this forum?

 

that is the exact reason why i told them not to mount the bracket when i bought my car.

 

Go to the service dept and tell them you lost your bumper caps, and if they could ask one of the techs if they have any spare ones lying around.
