So my front bumper has a license plate, and it is officially bugging me. I removed it and there were these two disgusting holes Is it possible to take this back to the dealer? Or would I have to bondo the holes up???

One possible solution for you.. it is not perfect, but better than paying big bucks to fill up the holes at bodyshop.

The bumper plugs...

sorry, that is NOT what I am looking for.

Then you have to get it filled and painted. Get the $$$ out...

I told my dealer before we even special ordered my car I will not accept it if it has a front plate.

Depending on if it is legally required by his state, he can have his dealership fix it at their expense.

AHhhhhh! I wish I had a unraped bumper.

So jealous. Ah well, I'll fix it in the future. But for now....bumper plugs it is.

I got my bumper plugs from Aerotect. Very cheap too. Pre-painted.

i should consider myself lucky that my bumper isn't tapped/drilled for the front license plate mount. came straight from the dealership that way too...

Color matched vinyl might be an option worth looking into. Just 2 small circles shouldn't cost that much.

I don't have a front plate, I feel it looks clean without. I wait to get a ticket and when I do I will use double sided tape, get the ticket written off and remove the plate, again. NO holes No plugs.

My car didn't have front plates either. I was actually expecting them to drill it, even though I didn't like or request it. When I was filling out paper work, they actually gave me a paper with a disclaimer to sign, saying that I will either leave it as-is (no holes/front plate), come back in and arrange a time, or something like that, and if I get in trouble because I didn't have it, I can't say they didn't tell and blame them for it. Smart dealership

I just asked the dealer to make sure there were no font holes. Filling in the holes definitely gives the sharper look...but plugs are the good/cheap alternative. Plus...if anyone asks like..."wth are those?" just say they're your parking sensors or something

This is a great idea!! but I am just worried that they might have anything on their record??

I am going to keep my license plate on I guess =\ Maybe after I save some money I will take it to a shop...

I think cops have enough IQ to find out double-sided-tape job.
Yeah~~ Maybe it works when the station is busy and they don't even bother to look.
