Cover front license plate holes

[Fireman2118]

I took my front license plate off because I was tired of it and was suddenly reminded of how considerate dodge was for drilling 2 holes in the middle of my front bumper. I know many of you share my displeasure. So here's how I fixed the problem. I looks pretty good if you ask me.

I went to Pep Boys auto parts and bought a package of 2 Chrysler body panel trim retainers by Dorman Auto parts #45492. ($2.00)

I painted these with my brilliant black pearl touch up paint. Then I shot them with a couple coats of clear. Pressed them into the holes and there you go.

I took close up pictures at dusk with a flash so you could see the finished parts. From a distance with natural light, you can't even see them.

The retainers are plastic, so they won't ruin the threaded holes in the bumper if you decide you want your plate back on.

Here's a couple of pictures.

Keep your plate in the back somewhere. You get pulled over, pull retainers out and screw your plate back on. 2 minutes tops.

u sir, have obviously never met a MO State HP.... they are ALL D*cks, my tags had expired in my old supra and i was headed to the liscense bureau, i got pulled over for said tags, i showed him all the paperwork and told him i was headed over to get the stickers and he kept me there runnin on about respecting his roads and whatnot until the bureau had already closed(45 min)... then wrote me a ticket, which i got out of of course, but still, im not willing to risk it...
