Front bumper tag caps?

wells i finally decided to take off the front bumper tag plate on the TL. and i went to the dealer to ask for replacement caps to cover the two holes next to the "ACURA" and they said they didnt have anything for it =\

so i was wondering what else i can do to cover those holes or where i can get replacements? i'll post photos later to clear up what i'm talking about but if anyone doesn't have the plate then they'll know what holes i'm talking about. it sort of looks like the towing cap but smaller i suppose.

any help appreciated.

^ The dealer's full of bull... I got my caps from the dealer and they were already painted! They just gave them to me and should have a gang load of them lying around. And I know exactly what you're talking about. Try another dealer maybe?

yeahs i was thinking the same thing, but when did you get the caps? i was thinking they might have thrown em all away cuz the new 09 models D=

im going to try to call the original dealership i bought the car from.
and hopefully have them sent to me but if not, i'm going to need to find a replacement xP

^ got them a few weeks after I bought my 06... and you maybe right, but they should still have a crap load of those things lying around.

The caps are part of the car, so they should give them to you if requested. I went to my sales rep and he took me out back into the garage, where a box of the caps were. He just plucked out a couple and off I went.

geezus. called two dealerships today. told me since they are "special order" it will cost me 25.xx a piece x_X. i was like geezus... 50 bucks for 2 pieces of plastic that are like an inch in diameter? maybe half an ounce of paint x_X ? ehh luckily i talked to tim from hondacuraworld and hopefully he'll be shipping them to me for 15 ea plus s&h =]

but still... talk about highway robbery eh? x_X i didnt even want the front bumper tag in the first damn place, why should i have to pay extra for what came stock before they modded it with their stupid dealership plates =\ sigh. lol
