how do you touch up the bolt marks from the front license plate? these are the marks from the license plate bolts being over tightened and slightly screwing into the paint. is this something you can use dr. colorchip for since it's not metal? or can i use some sort of filler and touch it up with my lexus touch up paint?

agreed. If its gone in to or through the paint/plastic, there isnt too much you can do. If its just a scratch, you can obviously use some touchup paint, but by the sound of it, its pretty deep

ohh man... they did the same thing to my brand new lexus >:O!
i hate that they arent smart enough to either lightly screw the bolts in or just leave the whole license plate off and ask if you want them to install it for you when you buy the car -__-. after all, it is our car and our choices if we want to display the front license plate even if it is against the law!
