Simple... Go back to your Dealer and demand for plugs... they should have them available.

Didn't work for me. They demanded $18 at my dealer for the plugs in response to my demand. When I suggested they took my plugs to begin with, they told me that was the law becuase a front license plate was required. When I suggested it might be the law to mount a plate it's not law to throw away my plugs, they simply said it will be $18 for new plugs.

Ask them to give you the set that they take off the next black TL that they sell. That's what I did. Good luck.

They took them off...they should give you replacements for free. that's ridiculous! I made the dealer remove that stupid tag before leaving the lot and put the plugs back.

That's not your problem, you bought the car with them (you paid for them) so make them order you replacements.

RamAitgt1 is right!! Return the car and find new dealer

I can not tell you how mad, angry, pissed I would be if my dealer told me that "it was the law" Jeez-- if your state requires a front plate, the dealer should have a barrell full of those plugs laying around.

I used to live in Texas, which requires a front plate-- I drove my Lexus for 4 years without one-- and NO one ever said a word about it (even when stopped for speeding a couple of times...) My very attractive admin assistand bought a Corvette and was stopped several times in the first month or two for no front plate -- go figure.

In NYS its illegal to have no front plate...when i bought the car i requested that the plat not be put on but they put it on anyways...before i signed any papers I made them take it off and put the plugs in...they had no problem with that...they even gave me a free bottle of touch up paint

Amen! The dealer should either give you some spare black ones laying around, give you the next ones off of a black TL, or order you new ones for free.

Hey D's, I merged your threads together, there was no need to start the same thread in two different forums.

Heres another thread on this subject as well.

Where I live, in CA, they require the front license plate, but after having the car for a month I went and got the plugs for "free". The service deparment said they had a whole bunch of them in the back. Ask to see the trash can thats where they all are.

I didn't know about the plate plugs either. About a year later when wife's car was in for and oil change - I just asked for the plugs from the service guy - no questions - he just went in the back and came back w/ 2 @ no charge.

Why don't u try this: nxt time u bring the car for service if not the original dealer bring the car to another - and just ask the service guy - can't hurt

Front plates are required in CA also. Luckily my dealer threw the plugs into the center console. Have you checked all the compartments for them?

I too forgot to ask for the plugs when I took my car home but I didn't have much of a hassle getting a set from my dealer. It took a good 20 mins for the guy to locate a set, poor guy went through all the manila envelopes (where all the car manuals are placed). But in the end I got a free set from my dealer. Just try your luck at another dealership if yours is being difficult about the situation.

Contact Acura and tell them about this dealor. What he is doing is price gouging and I'm sure Acura would be upset to find out about it. You might try holding this over the dealor's head. They have piles of those plugs in the back doing nothing.
