Bumper holes fix

Hi all,
I picked my car about a week or so and like most people on here i wasn't too thrilled about the holes the dealer had drilled for the front license plate...did a search on this forum and ended up on bumperplugs.com.
I ordered a set from them (talked to Eric, nice guy) and it arrived today, you can see by the pic that it is a perfect match on the DG…I recommend them to anyone looking to get rid of the annoying lic. Plates holes w/o the price tag of repainting the entire bumper.

Aszatk01 - I thought about it but I couldn't resist the simple action of clicking order on their website.

sen_jen - The car is a bit dirty and still hasn't been washed since I brought it home/ removed the lic plate holder...thanks for the advice, I’ll try it if a regular wash don't get it off.

did you have to drill the holes bigger before putting them on?

When I first went to the dealership to pick up my G35, I saw that they drilled holes on my bumper to put the license plate on. I was PISSED! I told them that I'm not going to spend $35,000 on a car that has holes in the front bumper! They were nice about it and sold me a different car with a higher package, since there were no others that were the same. And since I was paying a little more for the extra packages, I ended up paying below invoice

The bumper plugs are great, I had something like that for my older car. They just pop right into the holes

Just a tiny bit bigger than the holes drilled by the dealer...according to the directions, you don't want them too tight as they might damage the paint.

Good deal, I was lucky enough to find that car with the right options and @ a good price that I couldn't bring myself to complain about the bumper holes...beside i kinda had the nismo bumper in mind in the long term.
