Plugging front license plate holes
I bought my Z in a state that requires front plates. My state does not and when I took the nasty dealer plate off the front I found two nice size holes in the bumper. I got some factory touch up paint I can use to paint over the holes I was just wondering what you guys would recommend to use to plug those holes?

Had the same problem...bumperplugs.com...I think it was. But...the holes are a little larger than the stems of the plugs so you will need to glue them down.

here's what i did...
1. Home Depot / Lowe's (hardware section)
2. trim off the 'barb hooks' w/ nail clipper
3. remove grease from plastic plug (from injection mold release)
4. 2 coats of base color (allow 30min drying)
5. dry for 8hrs
6. 4 coats of clearcoat (allow 15min drying)
7. dry for 8hrs
8. clean the holes w/ x-acto knife
9. fill the hole w/ clear silicon
10. push the plug it... viola!
*no drilling required
*cost- 49¢ per plug
