Most of the late model year cars are sold by insurance companies to other parts places. Mainly Forest Lawn Auto Parts and the ones on 52 Street in the SE.

I know a lot of Hondas go to A1 Honda parts and I would assume Acura would be same??

None such exist for newer cars that are "pick your part style". You will prob have to hit up the normal full serve wreckers where you tell the dumbass guy behind the counter what u want, and he looks it up in his comp and says he has none untill u point out the car that has the part you need is sitting by the fence outside. From there he proceeds to charge you as much for the part as if you went to the dealership and bought it new. As you can see i don't like most calgary wreckers...maby my experiences with them were isolated...but not to get off subject, try a place called A1-Honda auto wreckers, can't remember the exact location, but it is listed in the phone book.
