I called the Tustin Acura for some quotes to install a trunk lip and change the rear side markers on my base to a Type-S and this was the response:

him: "uh I dont know what side markers are but the trunk lip is 750 for part and install"

me: the side markers...the running lights on the side of the TL?

him: "ehm, yeah ok we don't have those parts. I've never heard of anyone swapping those out."

so anyone know a local place for OEM parts? 750 seems a bit excessive for the OEM trunk lip...

 

Not local, but

Not here, but they have free shipping and pretty good prices. They're in NY.

Oh, yeah. Tim over there's a great guy. When I need to ship OEM parts to east coast, I usually have him drop ship for me.

 

sounds to me thats a crappy dealer.
