License Plate Badge
When I picked up my ES, they had already mounted the front license plate with their dealership bracket. After a few months of looking at it, I decided I didn't like it. However, I liked the holes in the bumper less. I compromised as the picture shows. I cut the top of the Dealerships license plate bracket off and only used the bottom. It now looks like a badge rather than a bracket and it does a good job of covering the holes in the bumper without overpowering the front end. I like it. What do you think?
(I hope the picture shows up. I'm not sure how to do this.)

One more thing....I used a thick piece a dense foam (an old squeegy) as backing between the bracket and the bumper so it doesn't scratch the paint. It's about 1/4" thick and makes a nice looking offset, although you can't see it in the picture.

I was thinking of adding "Boardwalk" to my front. Sorry, just struck me funny..... LOL
I would probably just take it off and run with the holes filled in and touched up.

Ah, c'mon...you gotta admire the guy's ingenuity and effort!
But yeah--I'd rather just fill the holes in...or alternately, find a couple of round-head low-profile plastic tab/fasteners (color-matched to the bumper color, of course) and insert them into the holes.

I admire that he provided humor to my day. I pasted his post into an email and sent it around to friends and coworkers. This thing is really popular! It makes me smile every time I think of it.

AccElan01, I don't even know you but judging by your posts your a complete clown. Do us all a favor and keep the side comments to yourself, we already got the point that you don't like it so lets not make a habit of you coming back to this thread & posting something completely pointless & derogatory.

Sash, please keep your posts on topic. The topic of this thread is not to condemn the comments and opinions of other users.
I would like to keep my post on topic by saying that I do like the "badge" that n2cars fashioned; I think it is very cute that he thinks it's a more attractive solution than simply filling in the holes and painting them. It is similar to when a child puts a hole in a wall and covers it with a picture. Silly, but adorable.
