Front License plate

Just wanted to know the best way to hide the 4 pin holes on the front bumper from a old license plate holder cause I'm not planning to use the front plate anymore.

Should I add filler then touch-up paint? whats my best options?

im having my front bumper repainted thanks to a sanding truck dropping sand/rocks/dirt on dry pavement last year and blasting my car as i drove down the road. unfortnately the town would not cover the damage they caused or the lateness to work that was caused but i'm finally getting the bumper fixed and i'm having my front plate removed and the holes filled and painted over. on top of that i told the sales guy to leave it off and he said ok, then when i picked up it up he said, well NYS law is you need it... i dont care, i've done it for 6 years. but +1 for going crazy and going to the shop!

Well I just ordered the BumperPlugs and should have them in a week or so. I recently picked up a Nose mask and after removing the front plate to unveil the beautiful front end of the G I couldn't bear myself to put it back on. I only have 2 small holes thank goodness. When I bought the G I asked my dealer not to put on the plate but I was advised it had been done at the port. Maybe B.S but the damage was done. Anyways what I did was what another forum member did and locate the holder directly below in the spoiler area. I had to bend the 2 plastic hooks on the bottom of the plate holder up a bit and used a couple zip ties to secure it to the mesh in the spoiler. Bolt on the plate over top and it sits nice and flush with the front of the spoiler. Nice tight fit, not going anywhere.

virgin.. LOL

Couldn't describe it better.. but a lot of times, at least in CA.. you better follow that delivery process hardcore.. or it will happen..

If you have to display the plate.. which in CA it's pretty tough not to, since they send the meter maids after you.. we do have a solutiion: STILLEN : STILLEN Front License Plate Bracket

Heard nothing but good things about bumperplugs.com..
