BumperPlugs: submit your request for Blue Slate!!!
I finally got my free bottle of touch up paint today (Blue Slate - K52)... after 4 months!. I smeared some on an index card per instructions from BumperPlugs.com. I am mailing it tomorrow. Hopefully, they can find a good match/mix. Otherwise, they may have to do custom coloring (more $$$?).
Some of you are unfortunate enough like me to get pre-drilled license plate holes in your front bumper. Finally, I can plug them up!
UPDATE FROM BUMPERPLUGS.COM:
Unfortunately we do not stock a match for this color. We can, however, produce it for you if you are interested.
Custom orders are $129 and you will receive three sets of plugs in the exact matching factory finish. Or if you know any others in your area with the same color, or the dealer has interest, we need at least six buyers to produce them for inventory, then we can offer them at our standard $24.95/pair.
PLEASE EVERYONE WITH BLUE SLATE! I'm sure some of you have license plate holes on your bumpers! All we need are 6 committed buyers! PM me if you plan on buying a pair of Blue Slate (K52) plugs.

I broke the screw thread inserts already. I held the plastic thingy out, used a thin screwdriver, and tried to carefully remove it without breaking it. Unfortunately, the middle piece that swivels broke off, and it fell inside my bumper somewhere. 
I said, "Screw (no pun intended) this... might as well do the same to the other one." So I've been driving with two lil holes this whole time, minus the white plastic inserts.

Are they out of their minds? I understand it's a customer order, but for god's sake... Might as well order plain white plugs and paint them using the factory touch-up paint. Should be good enough.

It sounds like the white inserts are destroyed if you remove them. For me, it comes down to how much the white inserts are in case I ever need to re-install them.

Even at $24.95 a pair, it still sounds to expensive.
Here is the real kicker ... I just call Infiniti ... the white inserts are part of the bracket kit. That plastic bracket kit is $91
.Does someone know where else to get the inserts separately?
