I took off my front license plate and found there are 3 Holes in the front bumper to hold the License plate. How do I cover these holes?

My car is 07 WDP TLS.

Bottom 2 can be covered by bumper plugs that can be purchased from Acura.
I am not sure about the unnecessary top hole.

There should just be two holes. I had a bunch of these and was selling them, they're around $22 new shipped from ACURA. I was going to use them for a project but just decided to sell them since I have no time anymore.

^ what they said u can get them online already color matched

3rd hole?!?!?!

always the best hole

I took off my front plate bracket the other day and there are actually 3 holes on the bracket itself. So it's easy for someone to just drill another hole at the top to make it more sturdy.

That's exactly what the previous owner (or dealership) has done. It's on the top between two on the sides.

^yup same deal on mine, i used a razor to shave off the burrs* and then used touchup paint around the area. the top hole appears to be much smaller than the bottom 2, so it's easy to cover up (sort'of)

I wonder if the bumper plugs will fit in the top hole. I guess I will need to measure it to make sure before ordering.

^they won't, it isn't the same hole. the bottom 2 holes are factory, the top one was made by whoever put the front plate holder on.

i ordered the bumper plugs but unfortunately, the holes in my bumper are huge. I would say i could fit my index finger in there... not sure what to do next.

When I bought my car they also drilled a third hole in my bumper, I bought some black plugs from Lowes and covered up the hole. Lucky for me my car is black so it's not too noticable. If you have a diffferent color you could always use touch up paint. The plugs looked like this

They come in all sizes and they're in the hardware section under misc automotive I THINK, it was in one of those pull out drawers.

if not that, u will have to get the hole filled, and the bumper repainted for a perfect fix

Take a quick pic of the holes. I'm thinking 2 of them can be plugged.

TripnTSX

Yea 2 of them 'normal holes' can be plugged. Its the 3rd hole that was drilled by someone to make the LP more secure I dont know how to hide.

murph145

this is a super easy fix....


just put your front plate back on.....
