This solution is best as it is the most cost efficient as well as A LOT better looking than holes in the front. If you already have touch-up paint, then the cost of this mod is less than a dollar
Can you get the touch up paint at any Nissan dealership? I'm gonna get these next week and need the paint. Also, how much does it cost?

Yup, virtually all dealerships should have touch-up paints available to its customers. I got a touch-up paint pen from Courtesy Nissan while placing an order for other things some time last year. The paint pen comes with a clearcoat tip on the other side.

Cost: approx. $4-$13

One of the best remedy fixes (for those dreaded holes) available for the money invested IMO

if your really picky you might want to sand the tip of the plug a little because there is a faint line from the plastic mold... so if u want it PERFECTLY smooth a little sanding wont hurt...

The plugs I bought didn't have any lines in them. They did have a little patterned (rough) surface, which I think actually helps the paint stick better to the plastic IMO

We now have about 36 Nissan dealers across the country selling our 'Zee-Bracket' as an alternative to bumper holes

There are even two dealers in Southern California that put them on all their Zs and never drill bumper holes

Spread the word to dealers that don't know about 'Zee-Bracket'

You know I'd appreciate it
