Default For all of those who have thier front license plate removed...

Well, i took it off and the mount and everything off my 5th gen and i was left with 4 holes. I ordered 2 license plate hole covers from honda, thinking that they would be big enough to encompess both holes on either side. Well, i was wrong, they're really small and i still have 2 giants holes in my bumper. Is there a different part i need for these other holes, or am i just stuck with them being there? Thanks in advance.

it's kind of dumb how people just "screw" their license plates on, the previous owner of my car screwed them in leaving huge *** holes. A little touch up paint and your set.

actually, if ur going to be that detailed about it... u should use panel bond, sand it, and then repaint it... plastic welding is out dated now....

Thanks for the idea/replies guys. Man, they all sound pretty involved, i was hoping for something a little simpler hehe. Ah well, it's not a big priority of mine, however i would like to get rid of them soon. Thanks again.

just like metal welding... but instead of a big *** welder.. u have something like a soldering iron kinda... and u feed it a rod of plastic... that is melted on to the desired area... then u go and sand it down...

that is 1 way.. there are a few different kinds of plastic welding.. however.. panel bond is much more effective and easier to work with.
