Body shop and license plate holes.

Can a body shop fill in license plate holes so you can not even tell that they were there?


Thanks.

Yeah A Body Shop Could Do It For You But You Could Save Some Money If You Sanded It Bondoed And Resanded It This Way All They Have To Do Is Paint , Or You Could Vinyl Over It For A Much Cheaper Price ...

When this is done I am going to put my plate to the side of the front bumper. Dumb question, but which side should the plate go on?


Thanks.

The body shop is asking $600 to get rid of the two plate holes in the front bumper. I think he is retarded so im going to decal over the front plate holes. How should I do it? Just two round decals to cover them, or another kind of decal? Share your ideas please. Thanks!

Whatever body shop you took your car to that provided that quote is trying to job you. Take it somewhere else and get a 2nd opinion, it should cost about 1/2 that. I had to take my car in recently to get two things fixed on it, a nasty gash on my front bumper that required filler and refinishing, and a big *** dent in the hood of my car that required considerable work pulling and reshaping the hood, those two repairs combined cost $600. I also have a scuff on my rear bumper I got while accidentally backing into another car that will require refinishing that I just got quoted at $250. I took my car to Carsmedics both times, they treated me well. If you have one in your area, have them look at it.

The thing is my car is dimond white which costs more than the others but $600 is still too much for just 2 holes. Thanks man.
