Default License plate screw hole covers - Anyone ever have this happen?

Just came back from the track and when I parked to get gas, I noticed this...



Has anyone ever had this happen? Is this something the dealer is likely to stock or have to order? It almost looks like a cover came off the white one, the other is still silver.

I don't know if the bumper plugs come pre-painted from the dealer.

Maybe you were driving too fast for the silver to stay on? I see many bugs gave their life.j/k

I got OEM Lexus overpriced out of stock touch-up paint from the dealer.

I have heard of blowing the doors off, but never blowing the paint off of bumper plugs, haha. Driving anywhere in the south at night during the summer months will give many bugs the opportunity to die for their cause. This was actually a mild night...

Thanks for the link. It looks like $28 bucks for the ISF. I will have to see what the OEM parts go for and decide. I just assumed that they were painted and not "covered."
