Off with your... Front plate!

So after trying a couple different custom plates on the from of my car (dealer bracket), I finally started researching how to get rid of the holes. That's when I found that I didn't have to get rid of them, I just had to plug them! Went to Lowes and bough 2 sets of 3/8" nylon hole plugs and went to work. Yes, I had FOUR HOLES! Idiot dealer! After about 20 minutes of work in the Texas sun... This is what I accomplished. (I still need to do a little paint touchup...anyone know where I can get touchup paint fast? Don't wanna drive all the way to the nearest Lexus dealer)

I don't have a front plate or bracket on my car.. the dealer asked if I wanted it on, I said I'll take my chances...

So much cleaner look without it

I don't care for all those plugs in the bumper. To me, a nice license plate bracket would look better.

For a quote and idea...call Famous Autosports and ask for Mitch, the owner. Everything is custom, to order, etc...think of it as overhaulin in 'your style'.
