License Plate Plugs

Are these still readily available? Does anyone have any MRP plugs?

I got mine from my sale rep at the dealership when I purchased my TL-S. They had a whole box full back in the garage. He just pulled out a couple and that was that.

Just as the others have said. DONT let the dealership charge you $18 bucks for them. If you talk to the right person either in parts dept. or in service they will get you them for free out of the box from new cars that they installed license plate brackets on.
Unfortunately for me my 07 TL-S is Kinetic Blue Pearl which is next to impossible to find. So the guy found me a pair off some dark blue acura and gave them to me. I then painted them with touch up paint and it looks just fine.

Good luck,
James

You need to talk to this cat:

DatboiDennis

He will hook you up with some plugs for ten bucks. WAY cheaper than the dealership wants for them. I bought mine off him a couple weeks back, they got here right on time and in good shape.

If you bought your TL at an Acura dealership, the plugs SHOULD come with the car. You paid for them.

I meant, that if you paid for the car you should have gotten them when you bought it. Not that it would actually be in your car but the sales rep should have given them to you. I'd go ask for them. That's what I did when I removed the license plate bracket. Good luck

dont even pay 10 bucks. Bumper plugs are part of your car and are supposed to come with it. Mine were inside the glove box.

Yeah I tried that route at TWO dealerships and they both wanted 20 bucks each for them. I got even crazier looks when I asked for used ones in the shop. It just depends on where you live I guess, it might work in your area.
