Default // How can I remove this ???

So today i finally took off that stupid front plate my car had. I was wundering how would i go about removing those holes that are left on the bumper.




I live in florida so i dont need the front plate but those nostrils on the bumpers are looking ugly. Any sugestions would be great. Thanks

Fiberglass patch behind with a bit of fiberglass/bondo/plastic flex filler, sanding and paint.

is this a trick question.. you can't take off those holes. you can however cover it up with those oem license plate caps or bondo it and smooth it out.

I would just keep the plate where it is, because if you re-locate it and put those plugs in IMO its going to look like ****.

Get some plugs, put the plate under your seat or in your trunk, next to a pack of license plate screws. If a cop pulls you over, tell him you were going to do it when you get home. Not sure if it works or not though.

Or you could just put the front license plate in your windshield in the bottom driverside corner they wont pull you over I've been driving like that here in NJ for the past 3 months now with no problems. They dont need it they dont read the front plate anyway unless its sitting in a parking lot.

Not sure if they come painted or not. But you can buy the plugs, and buy touch-up paint from honda.

i cut mine out with a bullet grinder, put masking tape acrosss the front and filled it with duramix from the back. then while the duramix was still pliable we stuck the duramix nylon tape across the back. once it dryed we pulled the masking tape off the front and filled a couple of pinholes with body filler, sprayed it with sealer and painted it like normal. now you cant tell they were ever there.
