    does anyone make a front plate delete bracket/cover/anything???

    two huge holes in my front bumper i would like gone. i got the idea to search for something to cover the holes on my tacoma from my Subaru... companies make these awesome covers to keep the front end clean and plate free. but i haven't been able to find such a thing for tacoma/offroad companies... do they exist? what are you guys doing to combat this besides a straight forward hole fill.

    I, um, cover mine with a license plate?

    Your profile says you're from Orange County. Doesn't CA require you to display both front and rear tags?

    I am working on a new front plate mount for my truck and bought some of those painted plugs to put in the holes, certainly not an ideal solution but better than the ugly holes.
