Default Question about front bumper holes.

Thinking about purchasing the Sewell parts painted front bumper and I heard that it does not come with pre-drilled holes, which is great.

Unfortunately I'm in a State that requires it. Is it easy to see where to drill the holes or will a template be required? My spatial acuity and measuring by eye is not the best.

I heard someone mention the holes there right there under the paint or something like that and you can slightly see where you have to drill?

Thanks for the help.

There are small portions of the front bumper where the holes are to be drilled for front plates. You cannot miss them because they protrude out a little, like a couple of small bumps. At least, my '06 does.

^^^ Correct

My 2012 had markers/landmarks on where to drill. It's quite small but you can't miss them.

You also have the option to use a tow hook license plate holder so you don't have to drill holes into your front bumper. I wish I didn't.
