Default License plates holes!

Hello,

I just leased a ES350 and my new plates got installed today. I told the valet guy to remove the plate holders from the front and leave the plate just in the back. But when he removed the holder there were two holes screwed into to the front bumper of the car. Now I do not have anything in the front but those 2 holes are sort of visible when you look at the car from the front.

Anyway to fill them up without being obvious?

If the holes are already there, I would just put the plate back on. I think the plugs make it stand out and look worse.

For me, I'd get the bumper plugs and paint them the vehicle color. I'd also ask the dealer why the bumper was drilled in the first place. Maybe get the dealer to pay for them. Don't remember if New Jersey requires tags front and back. In PA, rear only.

If you're going to register the car in NJ then wouldn't you need to use those holes for the front license plate?

There is a company by the name of bumperplugs. They make color cordinated plugs that fill in the holes.
