You can get them through an Acura dealership parts department although I've heard they're ridiculously expensive.

You shouldn't need to pay for them--they originally came with the car and the dealer removed them to install the plate holder. Just go to your dealer sales person or one of the nice service department guys and they can probably find a whole collection of them in the shop. That's what I did. Good luck!

Check your glove box, center console or spare tire tray. Your salesperson could help you get them back.

cool. Imma go to the dealer this weekend and ask for it. The shouldnt' charge me right? Cuz i dont wanna pay for $19 pieces. haha that's a grip.

Also, im assuming most of you have your front license plate off, has the police ever cited or caught you. At first i didn't want to cuz my friend said i might get caught. But i see alot of TL's all around without them.

Alright,
Thanks!

Kearney Mesa Acura will charge you, Ball Acura will charge you......you can pick them up from Acura of Escondido for like $20. They are like $16 a piece not the pair. I've had mine off for a few months without any problems from the 50.

What?! They have pre-drilled holes?? I thought the dealer drilled the holes when detailing the car... dang!!

One of the reasons I got my TL is because of its great appearance of the front bumper. And guess what? On the day I went picking up my new ride, I saw the license plate sticked on the bumper... I was like... $HIET! There goes my great look!

Ok... I'll try to get my sales person and ask if he can find a pair for me... I doubted though!!

not being mean, try to go to your dealer you purchased it from. They might do something for you. I went to my dealer and they made me pay.

Go to your salesman, they should've left it in your car. You should not pay for it again. It came with the original price of your car. Good Luck
