PLUGS to fill the holes from the front license plate holders???

..i got my 08 g37s on sunday & the dealership put the plates in most of the cars in the lot. i was wondering if anyone knows where i can find plugs that would match my car (blue slate) that will cover the holes the license plate made.
Thanks

jus put in the original screws back into the holes, paint it the color of your car, and you will probably get a ticket for it so then its just free considering you didnt have to buy bumper plugs.

As more California cities install stoplight cameras, the importance of front plates increase. Once it was a fix-it ticket, now it's a fine. Cops are more likely to stop cars without front plates than they once were. And, if there's any chance you'd rather not (for a variety of reasons), have a one on one conversation with an officer while you're driving about town in your G, going without a plate may be a poor decision. All that said, I am not sure whether I'll have one installed when I finally get my '09 G early next year.

I'm in Cali and I took my plate off. I may have to put it back on now, I'm scared.

I don't have a front plate... Came like that from Infinti of Montclair... Live in So Cal... Yet to get pulled over for it and I've had the car for 9 months now... But if I do, I'll get it signed off by my buddies in the Sheriff's Dept...

No longer a fix-it ticket. Fine, not sign-off

VC § 5200 is now penalized by a fine. In Sacramento the fine is as follows:

5200 A I License Plate Display Specified: Base fine 25; State Penalty Assessment 30; County Penalty Assessment 21; DNA Penalty Assessment 3; Court Penalty Assessment 15.00; Surchage 5; Total bail 99.00; Category 1a; Points 0

Once, I could have my co-workers sign off a ticket after I put my plate back on. Now, I think it'll cost me $99.

Most of the time I get front plate tickets when I get stopped at DWI checkpoints. I love how the cop walks away from his little checkpoint to give me a ticket while the drunks pass by.
