i would have killed my dealership if they put the front plate bracket on my car and drilled those damn holes.. i made sure they didn't..

i've had a couple instances where cops would hassle me for not having a front license plate, so i still have mine on.. if you guys wanna check it out, here's the link:

i've had it on my car for a couple months now.. looks good IMO and if i ever wanna just take it off, it's easy as cake.. definitely sth i would recommend you guys to look into..

 

http://www.bumperplugs.com--->ordered them...been a while now and havent recieved them yet...turns out the dude forgot to ship them ...ohh well!

 

dont get those bumper plugs just go to home Depot in the small hardware section
those drawers have "hole plugs" many sizes i got mine for about 1.20 and some nissan touch up paint, they loook great! (for having plugs) while i was at it i painted the licence plate skrews with the paint too! heh

 

Nylon plugs plus touch paint = TEH WIN

Looks great, costs almost nothing, and is a true DIY mod

 

i couldnt find the nylon ones ... ( none of the "help" there knew what I was talkin about

 

i found my nylon ones at pepboys in the exterior section...there were a bunch of sizes, but i think the 3/8" ones fit the best...cost $2.00

 

Yeah, you have to measure the diameter of the holes before going to buy the plugs b/c I've seen different sized holes on different Zs. I believe that mine were 3/8" also though.

 

do either of you guys have pics of these nylon plugs?
no Pep Boys here...

 

Got mine at OSH (Orchard Hardware Supply), but you should be able to get them at any hardware store (I personally don't think automotive shops are a good bet for these).

 

i can take a pick tonight for yah

 

Couldn't find an exact match from a search, but it looks something like below except the ones I got were round at the end as opposed to angled as seen in the pic. They pop-in seemlessly.

There were two color types at the hardware store: one was a whiteish clear and the other was black. I got black since I have an SB, but of course I still painted and clear coated them. Word of advice: leave ample time between coats... I rushed mine and probably shouldn't have.

 

i just recently REPAINT my front bumper , the body guy also fillled something onton the 2 holes and leaves NO mark on them .
it costed me 250 bucks for all of it .

 

Some one should come up with a plate that has two clamps on the back, then if you need to display the front plate just use the stock grill as a holder.. I think that would solve the whole problem as far as looks are concerned.

 

What did he fill them with? I was told by a body shop that anything used to plug the holes (bondo, et al) may be susceptible to cracking due to bumper flex of the plastic.

 

meanwhile i still havent recieved my darn plugs from bumperplugs.com....heh
