So, when I got my car the front license plate and bracket were already mounted on the front bumper (much to my dismay). Is there any way to fill in the holes from the screws (and not have it look like crap), or would it just make more sense to replace the front with something else (read: sexier).

Thoughts? Recommendations?

 

You can take it to a body shop to have the holes filled and painted over.

 

There are also specially made color matched ' license plate hole fillers' that you can buy in the marketplace and place in the holes.. you can look at pictures posted and decide if you cna live with how it looks that way

 

"Bumper Plugs"

Thank you!

 

hmmm...something tells me I would notice the plugs every time I washed my car. So, I guess my next question is...how much should I expect to pay for an aftermarket front?

 

Color matched plastic rivets.
You can kinda see em in the pic below. Didnt look too shabby...

 

Seeing yours reminded me...I am also missing that rectangular piece in the middle...not quite sure what the dealer did with it before I got the car. Is that piece sold at the dealership??

 

^ Yes. Comes unpainted. Like $10-$15.

 

would the dealership be able to paint it? I would feel kind of stupid going to a body shop just to have them paint that one little piece...god why did they have to mount that damn license plate lol.

I'm still on the fence if I should just get a new front....hmmm...the mod bug is biting again and I am having a hard time deciding what direction to go.

 

Or you could get one of these....

NOT

 

I know the feeling! I first went with the bumper plugs, but the color was slightly off so I noticed even though no one else did.

I finally bought a Kuruma Z front and change my state of reg to one without a front plate law.....

I found my lil square plug deep in my trunk with the spare tire. Didn't even know I had it for a while.

 

HAHAHA....I'm pretty sure Q doesn't work for me and I don't go by 007 (and neither does that guy). That would be cool until the first time that he bottoms out in the front...

 

The Transporter.. HEHHEHEHEHEHE

 

I have holes, AND an outline from the plate bracket...
