Default ways to fill holes in bumper from licese plate

well teh dealer did install a license plate on my car with the 2 holes in the bumper , and i have had my front plate off for about 10 months now, and i want to fill in the ugly holes. i went to a body shop and they told me $200 to do it, which seems like a rip off. but the shop i went to is a very expensive shop to begin with.

on the s2000 they have inserts that are painted the same color as the car that plug into the holes thats you can notice, but it looks better than the holes.

do you know where i can buy these inserts and have them painted? i could get the toutch up paint from toyotoa and paint them. i hate these holes :twisted:

My Xb is going back to the dealer who is fixing & repainting the holes for me. My dealer got my Xb for me from another dealer who had already drilled the holes....UNEVENLY! One hole is an 1" higher than the other!

i cant bring my self to paint my own tail lights, much less caulk my own bumper. sorry

i think it has been too late for me to bring it back to the dealer, although i did call them 2 weeks ago and ask for my fog light covers, which they did give to me (they dont give them to you when you get your fogs installed)

a good body shop is your best bet-matching metallic pains is tough to do on your own

No idea how someone managed to screw that up. I just got back from dropping the Xb off at the dealer. Also getting one of my free oil changes and the 1000 mile "checkup" while it's there.

Wow! No more holes in my bumper! What a difference it makes not seeing them there anymore. Now I just have to find a mounting bracket that will fit on to the lower billet grill. Any links you have will be appreciated.
