To hold them in place. The part that goes in the hole is too small to hold them in place so I was just going to use epoxy or something.

 

try some strip caulk

 

Cool thanks man I'll check that out!

 

i need to get rid of my front plate. it just takes away from the look of my car

 

You have to usually buy like 15 yards at a time. If you need some i can just pull a strip off and mail it to you. I have more than I could ever use!

 

This isn't an option in some states, unfortunately

 

Thanks I appreciate it! I'll let you know if I end up keeping this bumper

 

My fix:

1. spray can of wicked white paint from http://www.automotivetouchup.com
2. 3 pack of securing buttons from advance auto
3. clearcoat from advance auto
4. gorilla glue to hold in place

buttons:



in place:



I could have made these look a lot better, but i was pressed for time. they are not perfect but they look WAY better than the holes!

 

I think I'm gonna go do this today. I took the plate off and there were black grommets in there that I left in. They looked better than big holes, but the painted plugs clearly look better.

 

Doesn't look bad

 

you need some clear coat on those, or next time just order it as a single stage

 

I put three coats of clear on them. I'm not sure why the clear became so matte-like

 

hmmm...try slower movement of the can

 

looks really good, If I ever live in a state that doesn't require a front plate this is what I'm doing. Travesty they make us drill into our bumpers like that.
