front license plate frame
i was wondering on the 02-03 models if the front license plate frame bolted onto the bumper so if you took it off there would be no holes or would there be holes that are suppose to be there.. i am wondering because i just got the car fixed after an accident and the bolted the whole license plate completely to the bumper so if i tried to take the frame off there would be two holes... thanks in advanced

I just had my front bumper repaired (a driver of a Dodge truck backed into me at an intersection). I haven't put the frame on yet since I want to make sure the paint cures. The bracket can have a tendency to rub against the bumper if it's pushed up against the bumper. Any slight pressure could cause possible irreversible indentations in the fresh paint on the bumper.

when they fill up the holes can you see them or what? do they put in some kind of rubber then they sand it down and repaint the bumper or is it different?
