yeh so i dont like those bumper plugs (though they are better than having the front plate..) so can a body shop fill those holes with something..? and paint over it? im willing to spend the $$ as long as its not toooo much..

i wonder if it would be anything like shaving emblems (with holes behind them)...

for instance, my friends integra has two holes behind his emblems but the body shop shaved them off..so there are no holes either..

so all i wanna know is..would this be possible and approximately how much?

thanks guys

 

you could get them filled and painted but it may cost you..........like when evo owner take off the wing, they get them filled sometimes

 

how much you think itll cost me?

 

pretty much the cost of stripping and respraying the whole bumper.. couple bills

 

might as well get a aftermarket bumper if it'll cost a few bill.

 

damn i was hopin for someone to say "100"

i guess ill keep the plate for now..only cause its free tho

 

I don't think you can get off that cheap, only because even if the holes are small, they still have to feather the paint surrounding the area they repair, and most shops will only want to strip and repaint the whole bumper so it will be consistent.

It may not match your body paint.........make sure you find a good shop that can blend to match your body panels......especially if its ivory pearl.

I had my whole front bumper repaired a month ago....they fixed a small cut/gash below the tow hook cover, and I had them repaint the entire bumper to get rid of the chips/marks from the highway driving.
Cost me close to $600........

 

i know what you mean! i just got my rear bumper repaired..there were tears equivalent to the bumper holes in the front

cost me $553!!

thought the did an excellent job with color matching on my dg

i cant even tell the difference..

 

What color is your car? I found some plugs for my black G at Lowe's for $.68
in the hardware section. I think they had white too. If you have some touch up paint I guess you could paint them to match any color G for a very cheap experiment.

 

^^can you send pics of the plugs? thanks, it will be greatly appreciated
