So i finally removed the ugly front plate off my TL.
Well now i have two even uglier holes in my front bumper where the bolts for the plate holder goes. I called the local dealership, and was told they are 17$ a peice painted. This seems like a lot to me seeing as how the part isnt even the size of a quarter. I looked on www.acuraoemparts.com and couldnt find it, not sure if i over looked or if it really isnt there. I wanna try and find it online to see if i can get it any cheaper than 17$ a peice (after shipping).



Thanks for any help.

 

Check this link and scroll down a tad until you see "ACURA TL FR. BUMPER PLUG ( WHITE DIAMOND PEARL )". Looks like they charge $10.78 per plug. I would call your dealer and demand (friendly-like) that they give you a free set, as they technically owe them to you since that is part of you car. That's what I did with mine.

 

Called up my dealer told them they should have been included with the car... 2 minutes later 2 new plugs.

 

check your glove box. Mine were in there when I bought the car

 

Exactly. I had them ship mine to me (my dealer is a good 40 minutes away), but I didn't pay a dime extra for them; not even shipping.

 

Yea i bought my car from a private seller, so there wasnt anything in the glove box. Im gonna check in the trunk where the spare is, but it seems like i would save about 4$ if i get them online. I asked about them just kinda..showing up on my bumper when i take it in to get my rear bumper fixed this weekend, wouldnt help me out though

 

Just go there and say that you just bought your car from them and they forgot to give you the plugs... Also say one of the sells reps were giong to give them to you and forgot ... . They should have a lot extra laying around

 

The oregon plates would kill that one quick in texas
