What did you do about the holes in the sides of the bumper that were drilled to secure the zap strap ends?

Front bumper

Not sure there's much you can do to fix those holes so they go unnoticed. That's the only reason I haven't bought a base lip, otherwise I'd ditch the type s one.

probably cheaper to get a new front bumper than to bondo and paint it. OR find someone that wants a type s front and swap bumpers

You cant go back once you drilled it lol You can either melt plastic into the hole front/back and sand it, prime and paint the entire bumper as a bumper repair. Not real difficult if you have the right tools. You have to melt the two plastics together. Or if you wanna be cheap and are not 100% picky... You could sand the inside of the bumper kinda rough, clean it, put a piece of tape on the outside of the painted surface and then fill the hole from the inside with epoxy and make a good sized 1" spread on the back. Let it dry and then take the tape off. Then use touch up paint and paint the epoxy circle. If you want it to look better wet sand and buff lightly... Just an idea worth a try if you wana be cheap

Your best bet would be to trade your bumper with someone with a base aspec lip. I'm sure you'll find someone.
