I took the time to take off the front plate. I never had used one on my previous two cars, both acuras, and paid only one ticket in over 6 years...not bad. I used the plate for the first month because it came on the car from the dealership when i bought it. To deal with the holes in the bumper I paid 2 dollars and used a set of automotive clips from aid auto that were somewhat universal in fitment. Then I sprayed the clips BS and put em on. I know its been done before, but it looks good body color, as the first exampls was flat black on a black car. I will get pics tomorrow when it is light.

This is all about being patient and doing a nice job on the clips...even thought theyre really small, take your time painting them, use REALLY thin coats.
