Front plate.... JDM plate or vanity? or leave holes?

When i got my car about a year ago, the dealer drilled holes into the bumper, and started drilling a little bit then decided it was off center, so i have two holes and one scratch&dent.

So, ive left it without a plate for the past year.... kinda ignoring the holes. I was thinking about getting a JDM plate, or maybe something else to put up front... but im not sure.

What do you guys suggest? My car color is Athens Blue

Lol I don't want to spend a ton of cash.... Instead of fillng the holes I'd rather get a nismo or kz bumper, but I don't wanna spend the cash just yet, maybe by Christmas next year... But not yet! Money is tight with school and only $120 a week from work.

ur call on the fronts of course but itll be cheaper to fill the holes and get it repainted than gettin a new bumper for 400+ then having to paint and install it. your money just tryin to help u out.

What are you thinking....Asian not ***!

It will cost you 1/3 the price of a new bumper to have the holes filled/repainted....or you could run the plate for a year until you've saved
enough $ for the bumper you want. With your weekly earnings you'd best
stick with getting yours fixed.... Money's going to get tighter!

Since when did "***" become an acceptable abbreviation?
