Front License Plate Screw Holes
Does anybody have any idea of how to hide these holes. I removed the fron license plate and put back the two ugly screws just to cover the holes but is there any nice accessorie?
thanks for the advises!

Other than getting them filled, painted, etc. by a good body shop I saw another method described in another Lexus thread. I don't recall which under model the thread was under but it had a link to a website of a company that makes all kinds of plugs to fill these and other 'holes' on cars (like door locks since many people use their remotes exclusively and some of them don't want to see the key holes, etc.). The website showed some very high end cars (Porches, etc.) that this company makes them for. They'll match any factory color. You might want to try searching some of the other user threads.

I just don't think bumper plugs are going to look that good on an IS bumper. If I was going to remove the front plate I'd have to get them filled and the bumper repainted.

I have the bumper plugs - they're OK. Most people don't notice them unless you point it out. I thought about just running with the holes, but couldn't come to grips with that on a 40k+ lexus. One caution, the plugs are wider, so you have to drill bigger holes to get them to fit properly, the bumper plugs were originally designed for 911s . . .

I think Aerotect makes bumper plugs for our cars pre-painted. You might wanna call Francisco and check them out. They're reasonably priced also. Pocky has those installed on his car and they don't look too bad IMO.

Aerotect now has bumper plugs ?!?!? I had my clear bra put on in July, and he had no solutions for my front bumper holes. I even tried to get him to put some of the red vinyl over the holes, but we didn't like the contrast in color . . .
