Front License Plate Delete

This really stood out on my car and i didnt like it so i found a thread and applied the methods.





I didnt have to do any drilling like most do this was just held on with phillips so it was an easy unscrew.



the 2 inner holes show some type of screw rust





Coulnd find the bumper plugs so i found the next best thing.



They are a little rough so i sanded them down with some 800 grit just to smoothin them out.







On to the paint shop







It started raining then i noticed i forgot to buy clear coat (THIS BREAK IS BOUGHT TO YOU BY MY DADS PROWLER)





BACK TO WORK



Finish Product

"This break brought to you by my Dad's Prowler" lmao.
What are you going to do for those screw holes? Fill them and repaint?

When I picked up my car I let them know not to put the front plate bracket on, my first mod is a hideaway plate holder. You did a great job hiding the holes, too bad they are there in the first place.

The only thing I didn't like about my car when I bought it. Since it was shipped from out of state, I didn't have a choice. Tried removing it like others, but it was a pain lol. Ended up messing it all up and having to take it to my body shop to fix the bumper. But for $250, it was well worth it. Can't even tell it was there.
