So I removed my front license plate and bracket. There are now four holes with paint chipping around them (as you can see in the pics). Also the two lower holes are sticking out a little.

My question is what would you guys do? . . . Bumper plugs? or am I going to have to get the whole thing repainted?

Thanks.

 

i would cry... i hate front plates, best bet is to see about bumper plugs...

 

Put your license plate back? Otherwise bumper plugs.

 

the plates are not going back on, it looks better with 4 holes than that hideous bracket.

Anyone know somewhere special to get plugs or should i just home depot it?

 

I would use a obnoxious colored duct tape like hot pink, cover it, and draw a sad face with a Sharpie.

 

Bumper plugs would be your best bet until you are ready for a new bumper/repaint.

 

I like the hot pink duct tape idea

 

Since I'm a design guy,I would take a different approach.I'd fabricate a carbon fiber overlay(3m tape backing),an apply over the area.With a little creativity,there may be
some CF parts available that could be adapted for this purpose.Available for the 370
is a CF piece that attaches to the upper section of the opening.Even if it fit your Z,
I don't believe it would be tall enough.
Of course the easiest thing to do would be to use bumper plugs([paint your car color-OEM silver)they would blend in but not look good to me.
Hey,sometimes things happen,you come up with a solution...it looks better than what you had originally!

 

More thought...if you do come up with a CF piece,I'd also do the bottom lip in CF...there is a CF piece that installs in the area below the grill...many online
for about125-150 bucks.
This would pull the CF top area together with the bottom.
The look would be a bigger,more aggressive grille opening.

 

Somebody had thier coffee this morning apparently.

bumper plugs or repaint.
Do things right or leave them be. But you already knew that.

 

I had the same thing. I ended up having the bumper filled & resprayed for cheap. I was happy initially, but now not-so-much (paint quality & color match).

If you're **** about your car, it might be time to bite the bullet and go to a quality body shop.

 

That's horrible....I can't believe people just drill into the bumper like that!

Mine used to be the same way. I did bumper plugs with factory touch up paint, it works for a while and then that annoys you too. You will end up closing them or getting a new bumper soon the way I see it.

 

Kill it with fire.
Get aerosync front bumper + show-n-go license plate bracket.
Live a happy life.

 

I left mine on, damn east coast dmv's... z license plate ftw!

 

band aids.

 

shave/ fill it

 

Appreciate all the input guys.

CF overlay is too much I think.

Bumper plugs already painted from the "bumperplugs" website are $25 a pair!

Im gonna take a ride to home depot and see what i can find.

 

Did you do this yourself? If so, what did you use to shave it?

 

Decals brah

 

i hate jersey's front license plate rule
