Default what to do with front license plate holes? (moving to state that doesn't require it)

I will be moving to a state that does NOT require front
license plates on vehicles.

Unfortunately, I currently have front license plates on
all three of my vehicles. (two are Lexus) I took off
one front license plate holder and it looke ugly underneath.
(two holes... and obviously never washed or waxed behind
that area)

Since I can't be the only person who has moved to a
no-front-license-plate state, I'd like to know what others
ususally do in such situations...

THANKS!

I would recommend.....

1) Wash area
2) Clay
3) Polish
4) Wax
5) Bumper plugs

You will look perfect after this treatment.

checkout our CL vendor aerotect for bumper plugs. Mention your from CL and they should hook you up.

I was going to suggest bumper plugs just bc it came to mind first, but if aerotect has them, I'd always recommend supporting a CL vendor first

+1 for the bumper plugs, unfortunately I have to live in a crappy state where a front plate is required.

you could also have them filled in too if you choose. its obviously the more expensive route but it will look cleaner.

i had bumper plugs on me. there was actually (4) holes in mine. i had them filled.

Sarah, you can try our plugs. They are less expensive than the other guys, and we have most Lexus colors.

Thanks to the rest for the recommendations!

I cut some small circles out of vinyl on my cutter and used those to cover the holes. Looks better than the holes for sure!
