I was disappointed to see that my dealer already drilled holes in my front bumper for the license plate. Are there any places that sell color matched plugs?

Last time I was at Aerotect, Francisco was telling me that they were going to receive color-matched plugs. He had a pair of Black Onyx that he was going to give me for free, but the fitment was not quite right for some reason. This was a while back, so I'm sure they have them in stock now.

so did you guys have to drill the holes to make the bumper plugs fit?

i just got mine filled in and painted...cost $250 but it looks a lot better than those severely overpriced $25 bumper plugs that you can probably make for $3 from Home Depot

aerotect has most colors for the IS now. they sell for 15 bucks i think. give francisco a call. when you call tell them to make breakwater blue i need those.

I just ordered from bumperplugs.com. Came to $33 shipped. Not about to paint my whole bumper only to get a fix it ticket and have to put the holes back in. Ill try to let you know how they fit and post a pic.

Have you taken the bracket off yet and confirmed that you only have two holes? Sometimes you'll have the two holes that holds the black bracket on, AND two additional holes where the screws that hold the license plate on have bored into the bumper.

The Lexus system is crappy and could/should be done more elegantly.

I have, and yes you are correct, except they only scraped the paint with those mount screws. I am going to take it to a local body shop, or ask Lexus if there is anything they can do to make those go away. They really arent that noticable as they look more like rock chips.

Okay, hate to bump this old thread, but I have another question: I am thinking of taking the font mini plate off that I have mounted right now to cover the ugly holes I have in my bumper. My question is this, is there anything to worry about having open holes in your bumper like that? Perhaps from water getting into bumper or something like that? Can leaving them uncovered be very bad?
