    Almost cant see it, my girl is from VA and I'm from IL and we both have front plates on but live in NC...so I was thinking about getting the plugs for both of our cars once we switch to NC, but that looks great too

    any close-ups?

    With you living in Cali I'd be careful about not running a front license plate. Even with the plugs in most states its illegal. Here in NV, even if your vehicle doesnt come with predrilled holes.....on most vehicles there is a tiny indent that you can barely see with the naked eye where the holes should be drilled and if it has those indents its illegal to run without a front plate.

    Get them from Home Depot or lowes for about a dollar. Then just color match them.

    Thanks ... the dealer had it mounted in the red .... I let it go for a few weeks and said what the hell ... I cut, filled in and painted ... all I could do if I screwed up the holes were to use bigger screws. I think it turned out well ... I don't even see where they were ...

    I know this is old but the website is still up and just ordered some bumper plugs price is up to $14 but way better than bumperplug.com and they color match as well. Thank you and hope other that have moved their plate can use this as well.
