Default Front "F-sport" license plate.

I hate the front license plate on the car but it was installed when I got it at the dealer. removing it will leave holes so i got a custom "F-Sport" one made and installed it last night. How's it look?

Honestly i would get some white plugs to cover up the holes. Or maybe get the center section vinyl wrapped to hide the holes.

I'd look into getting the plugs. I hate front license plate. Prefer ridin' "dirty".... until I get pulled over.

I've never heard of the plugs, how does it work and where can I get some? I've also thought about wrapping it black too, but I'm not too good at it.

Honestly I've never looked them up, but this is the first result that came up on google. i think they look way better.

I had them for my Porsche. Don't worry too much about an exact color match, they are pretty small and you won't notice as long as it is close. That being said, they were very close.

Don't forget u basically have 4 holes behind that bracket. 2 holes on the outer part that hold the bracket and 2 on the inner part that hold the license plate. They're not actually holes but I'm sure the screws screwed into the paint, so when u take it off it'll leave marks.

Crap, you know exactly what you talking about. You have the same mounting frame as mine. I guess I'll just keep it on for now, and probably do a vinyl wrap later. ItzFilyO looks like you have front plates too, do you have your actual license plate on?

That's what I did, had vinyl cover the holes but you still need a plug or something there as it will leave a indentation of the hole.

Lol that's awesome!

Officer: "where are your plates?"
ItzFilyO: "it's a new car officer"
Officer: "when did you buy the car?"
ItzFilyO: "two years ago"
Officer: "doh!"
