Question License Plate Bracket Removal and refinishing.

My car came with the front plate attached which looks ok for a stock location but I'd rather have a clean front end.

I have seen before in the past caps for the holes that can be bought to clean off the bumper once you remove a bracket.

Does anyone know of someone or some vendor that sells some in Evo colors? or do I have to have the bumper refinished at a body shop?

Thanks man but I guess I should have mentioned I have zero body shop experience....

Was looking for bumper plugs something that requires zero experience.

Thanks I'll have to call and see if they can get Mercury Gray and other Mitsubishi colors added to their lineup.
