Question I am trying to get a pair of bumper plugs
Hi.. I have a question
I own 07 IS350 Obsidian color
Dealer drilled my bumper so I am trying to get a pair of bumper plugs
I searched about bumper plugs and found bumperplugs.com
But I don't see my color(obsidian) on the list
Is there a similar color for that?
Thanks..

I have the same color car and already ordered the plugs from bumperplugs.com. Black matches fine, however, if your dealer JUST drilled the holes youll be okay and they will work. If the license plate mount was ALREADY screwed in when you got the car (ie if there was ever a screw in the holes they drilled) the bumper plugs wont work. I had to send mine back.
When they tighten a screw in the drilled hole to mount the license plate bracket on your bumper it creates a nipple that sticks out about 1/4". Because of this the bumper plugs will not sit flush. Bumperplugs.com will tell you to just drill the hole out, but the size of the nipple it creates is so big that once you drilled them out to the point where they are flush again, the hole would be too big to hold the bumper plug.

Well for about a week I left the plate off and just had the hole showing, but every time I looked at the front of my car it hurt seeing holes there plus the bolt marks from the license plate itself. So I ended up with one of the front mini plates instead... I dont like it really, but it makes me feel better than the holes did.
