Default Front liscense plate

I just picked up my 2006 Z. I love it but it came with a front liscense plate... which I don't want or need. If I remove it I'm sure it'll have ugly holes in the bumper. Do they make color-matched plugs I can put into the holes? It's a magnetic black by the way.

Nylon plugs and touch-up paint. Best cheapest fix available.

I have a set of Bumper plugs in Chrome Silver. You could use touch up paint and match them to your color. Let me know if you want to buy them.

I think it look more ugly with those bumper plug...


I suggest either leave the license plate or let body shop fill the hole for you...

Your local dealership should have it.

Just put in the bumperplugs in myself and it is big improvement. Not as clean as a non-drilled bumper, but good enough for now. BTW, I have silver alloy, and used the titanium silver (bmw) which is recommended for chrome silver.

Rather than 2 holes though, I have 4. Two big holes for the bracket and two really tiny holes for the license plate.

while you're back at your dealer's parts department picking up that touch-up paint, lay the pimp hand down on whichever genius decided to bore holes in the bumper of an unsold Z. Seriously. Tell someone. You might prevent some other new owner from ending up with unwanted punctures in his or her ride.

I looked at these plugs and am not liking them and 25/pr is about as insane as possible having to drill it larger!! It sucks that they did this shyt to my bumper but all I can do now is fill/cover them. I was thinking about a something like this but that said nismo
