Front Bumper Plugs - Found a source!

Browsing on ebay and ran across a source for the front bumper plugs. For those of you who are required to use front license plates, these cover the holes in the bumper where the plate mounts.
Lots of guys have posted that they walked into their dealerships where there is a drawer full of them and they will just give you two for free. Others have found them in the glovebox after purchase. I was not so lucky. If you look these up on the dealer website, they go for a ridiculous amount of money---like $20 each!
Seller's name is 4unotnew08 and she has a nice selection of colors for most years. She is selling them for $12.37 per pair shipped.
Have at it!
Oh, and a safe and very Happy New Year to my Azine people!

Good to know... too bad the previous owner of my car (or the dealer) attached the front bracket with an extra screw right into the bumper cover. Oh well.. not like I'll be taking it off anyway since my commute takes me through lots of heavily patrolled areas and that's just asking for a ticket. My dealer in jersey has a huge bowl of them on his desk though..

Its the little plastic plugs you get at Lowes or Home Depot that are used to push in a Phillips or robertson screw head in cubboeards etc . If you look really close you can see it in the pix below. Just painted it car color.

THANK YOU. What a relief. I've been looking for ages to hide those hideous holes. Nice find. A bargain really, compared to the OEM business.
