removed my plate bracket today and i had ordered some plugs from http://bumperplugs.com/BPindex.html

just had to tap the holes out a little bigger to 1/4" and they popped right in and the paint matched great!

sure did! drive up the coast in cali was great! hadnt been up that way before so we checked everything out and did quite a bit of spirited driving in the twisties! went through the red woods aswell. tried to put the car through the big tree but she wouldnt fit sadly :(. and yea the plugs fit great! just drilled the holes out a little bigger to 1/4" inch and with a little pressure they popped right in, nice snug fit.

I would have done plugs if it were only two holes. I had 6 in my bumper cover. (4 from the bracket and 2 form bending and screwing the plates on without the bracket)

Thanks. I used to work at my uncle's autobody and paint shop in the 90's. Now I just mess around a little with my own stuff.

Hey how did you remove the front plate bracket? Mine wasnt bolted in by screws or rivets. It just looks like a screw but with a tiny hole in middle of the bolts/retainers.
