Help with holes...
Hey all, happy NYE,
I'm going for the clean look so I took of my front plate. While two of the holes are on the underside of the front bumper, two are right smack in the middle.
Is there any decent way to get rid of that? Help!
Thanks,
Joe

you could always fill the holes with fiber glass resin and then use your color code paint to paint over it. This would make it look unoticeable if you did a good enough and smoothe enought job with the resin and paint

(if you got the correct color paint that is)

What the heck are some dealers doing???? the factory plate holder only uses two holes underneath the bumper; no one should ever drill the front of your bumper.
