not too shabby now that i looked at it...
but for my case, someone hit me (broke the paint only), and broken slate/grile part...painting was the only sound way to go

Another option is to simply paint a pair of license plate bolts with your touch up paint and install them.
It's not as clean as the plugs, but if you're removing a frame, you already have the bolts.

I also, wonder why they didn't use shorter bolts.
On the GX there are no holes, just indentations where the plate goes. No bracket is used.
On the GS, I don't know if there were original indentations or not. However, there is a plastic bracket used, which has two holes to screw onto the bumper. Then the bracket has two built-in nuts to screw the plate onto. In my case, the furnished bolts are too long, therefore making an additional two holes on the bumper.
