Front License Plate Holes

I got a used 2008 g37 coupe and decided I didn't want to keep the front license plate on. Taking the holder off left 4 nasty holes in my front bumper. Does anyone know of a good way or product to plug/paint them?

DIY with some plastic plugs from the local hardware store and touch-up paint or bumperplugs.com.

sorry, don't know. we told the dealer we wouldn't take delivery if they drilled the bumper.

you have four holes? when i took off my front plate bracket, I only had two.

Oh, and I went to bumperplugs.com to get mine. they even had them in my color. to me it was well worth the price.

If you follow the DIY that's linked, don't be a dummy and use a knife to bore and even out the holes. Just use a drill to make perfectly round uniform holes and then the plugs will fit perfectly with no guessing or play. You'll need to use a 1/4" or 7/16" bit most likely, whichever is the smallest you can use in your existing holes.
