Removed front license plate holder
Previous owner had Front license plate holder on the front bumper.
I really didn't like the looks with license plate holder soo I took it off today and I saw 4 screw holes on my bumper..
what is the best way to get that fixed?
Nebody else had this problem?

I took mine off and was expecting two holes, but found four too! I was pissed! I've heard of people getting some nylon plugs from Home Depot and paiting them with touch up paint and stuffing em in there.
I got four painted plugs from bumperplugs. They are just some kind of interior panel push clip that is painted. You have to drill your current holes with a 1/4" bit, then the bumper plugs push in. I think that they are way too big, but I got used to them after a few days.

get some sorta paste and fill in the holes, take a small piece of 220mill sandpaper and buff it out, then touch it up with touchup paint, buff it up a lil, then apply a layer of gloss..
it might not look perfect, but its a DIY and it looks ok.

Thank you for the picture. Nice ride man ^_^
Bumper plugs sounds nice but i need to get 4 of them. I think it'll look silly with 4 plugs.. ddang it.. I hate to this but.. Plate holder will have to stay on..

I can take a pic of what it looks like with 4 bumperplugs in there. I admit, I thought it looked ridiculous at first, but I would still rather have those than a front plate. Also, a front plate sucks when people are shooting Ka band at me all the time
