Default G/I: tC1 Bumper Cap by NIA

Sup folks,

So, this has been something that has been mentioned on numerous occasions; what to do with the front license plate holes? There's been from one extreme to the next...bumper plugs to plugging and repainting the entire bumper (spot painting if you're lucky).

Well, there's also the option of a bumper cap. Some of you may have seen this out there already or might already have one on your ride. I was contemplating getting one myself to clean up the front end and still keep the flow of the ride. After talking with my good buddies over at NIA Auto Design, they've asked me to gauge interest with you fine folks, stating:

"if people are intereted in fiberglass caps; we can paint them in
gloss black, flat black, gun metal, ect."

So, lets hear if this is something you guys would like to see. A fast and easy way to clean up your front end for car shows and owning the streets.

Definitely not something I would consider. Even more edges that are bigger would be, in my eyes, less attractive than having 2 small caps on the holes. Even if it was color matched, people would ask, why do you have these 2 huge crease things on the sides?

I would think the cost of this piece+paint would be close to just having the holes filled and bumper painted...

I loved my bumper plugs till I tried pulling them out, I tried to do it carefully but only the top part came out and pin stayed in, fail :/

push from inside the bumper next time



About the 'bumper cap', why does there need to be that ugly rubber moulding on the sides?

Probably so it doesn't scratch your bumper like crazy from daily driving, if it is rubber.

looks cool, but the edges stand out too much.
