Default Fixing front license plate bumper holes

I remove the front license plate (the car looks better without it) and would like to cover up the holes.

Thanks,

Somebody posted up some link to where you can buy plugs for them. You'll have to search cause I don't remember the site. Or you can get it filled and repainted. My bumper had 3 sets of holes for some reason so I'm screwed. Apparently on one of the sets they used 1/2" bolts to hold the license plate on.

bumperplugs.com

Color match is very good and install is a snap. Well worth the money!!

That looks clean.

Is it possible to use body filler to fill the holes, and use touchup paint to match the color? Otherwise, bumperplugs.com is the way to go.

Thanks,

if the bumper has all 4 holes drilled in it, the bumper plugs don't look so clean. spending a few bucks at a body shop is probably your best bet. touch up paint would look bad.
