6 HOLES IN THE BUMPER! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

In Texas, you must have 2 plates according to the state law. However, 99% of cops will never pull anyone over for this. Personally, I think that the front licence plate takes away from the great look of the front fascia. So, when i got my car USED, it came already with the licence plate holder that attaches to the front nose of the car.

Not only does my bumper have 4 holes, but it has 6 HOLES!!!
Now, I can not take my licence plate holder off, because I will be embarrased of this.

I mean, how hard can it be to simply just drill 4 holes... I am appalled by this. If your going to drill into Camaro, you should do it correctly. Not crooked the first time so you have to re drill into the bumper.

If you mount one of them plastic owls on your roof it keeps woodpeckers away.

Looks like the prep guy screwed and screwed and screwed up some more. I will assume you will be asking the dealer for a new bumper cover?

I don't have a pop up, I have something I custom made but here are a couple of links that picture the prototype and one of the finished unit. http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=85213

Fill, sand, paint with factory color. I could repair this and wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Don't let it get to you. No biggie. I had bad tunes in the past and may have a screwed computer. Have to go to the dealer and get it cleaned. May have to buy a new ECM, if possible.

, be careful who you get your tune from.

Put duct tape.

IF you bought the car like this I would gripe and say BS Fix it im not buying a car with a plate on it. Yes its the law but you have the right to install it if you want.

Classic chevy in grapevine puts the bracket in the trunk for you to install.

I would just put 2 more on the left to even it out.
