Hey all,

Is there any way to replace or repair the silvery plastic molding piece that is above the license plate area?

I tried searching and the one really relevant post I found alluded to the idea that I'd need to buy a whole new trunk. I'm not sure if they were talking about the same piece that I am. I circled the piece in red.

Thanks

HA like your first post..

Theres a DIY in the garage:

you can cover it in vinyl. i covered mines in black gloss vinyl.

is yours damaged? what's wrong with yours?

 

Thanks.

I can handle the removal, but need to find the part number to get a replacement.

Some how it got a nick on it that cracked the surrounding area. Think of a ball mark on a green near the edge of the bottom lip.

 

hmm..i tried searching a acura oem part site for the part # and can't seem to find it. i think you're better off vinyling it anyways.

what color is your car?

 

Cbp

 

Plasti Dip it.. you will spend $5 and it will look good than silver/chrome oem piece...

 

I may try Plasti dip on it. Not sure how a matte black will look on my CBP TL.


Is there any paint product that mimics that piece's appearance? Some DIY way to fix it so it looks normal? I'm guessing power coating is out for me, but maybe there is an easier simple product (i.e. Plasti dip).

 

I feel you. I am gonna plasti dip the front grille guts but with a CBP not sure how that will look. May have to do lower grilles as well to keep the balance.
