Part # for front plate plugs

Does anyone know the part number(s) for the color keyed front plate plugs that cover the screw holes if you remove the license plate bracket?

I was careful to get mine, careful to put them up, so careful that I hid them from myself....

ugh!

You're gonna wish you could find them when you see the price. They are #11 in the picture below.

Go to the dealer and see the prep guy in the service department. Maybe he has some laying around he'll give you.

Each set of plugs is over $10? That is absolutely ridiculous.

That's not for a set. That's each, so list price for a set of plugs is $26.42. Now that's ridiculous. When I first started looking at these things, I think the list price was $1.90 each. Quite a price increase, eh?

And the list price for the tow hook cover is $22.29!

Dude.

Long live the warranty. It might be worth it to buy the extended warranty just to avoid having to buy these parts separately and get raped!

Do a freakin search already

Said it once and I'll say it again, JUST ASK YOUR DEALER. They remove them from every new TL they sell, it cant be that long before he/she has your color come in for some joe schmo who doesnt want their plugs.

And if your dealer wont part with $2 in plastic parts then that tells you something.

I did a search -- not into begging for parts. I lost them, I'll pay the price.

$20 is nothing compared to the 5 hours I spent looking for them yesterday...

Especially considering what I could have made doing real work for 5 hours.
