Just my 0.02 cents about shaving the front holes, make sure you use a light filler. Our thin plastic bumpers will sag and droop in this area if you use a heavy amount of filler. Also, make sure the holes are completely filled, then sanded, then filled some more, and sanded some more. I've seen several bumpers including mine were the holes are still slightly evident. When I get my entire car painted next year, I'm going to fix this area along with the 1,000,000 things I don't like about my car

BTW Bobby, looking good sir.

Thanks man! And I'm sure, I want to get a new front bumper anyway, one without plate holes, and then worry about shaving the other holes... I know the feeling wanting to fix so many small parts and things...

Yea just needs to be done right the first time. My paint guy used plastic filler on my emblem holes and the plate holes. You can't see where any of the holes were.

Yeah, I had the griffin put on the front, so if the holes are slightly visible, I can't tell, but the rear has been completely shaved and filled, I still can't find the holes no matter how hard I look, but I feel the rear, just because of where the holes would be, won't have the same problem as the front. I did pay quite a bit though to have the holes filled, sanded, and repainted, but the finished product IMO was definitely worth it, front an rear looked great.
