well yeah, there are going to be holes, but there are some ways to fix it:

Bumper Plugs which are obvioulsy the less expensive option, but doesnt look as good.

OR

you could go to a body shop and have the holes filled and painted, which would probably be really expensive depending on what shop u go to...

look thru this post "I hate my front license plate" a bunch of different things done there...

well i went to detail my car today and i noticed my front plate was missing a bolt and i couldn't find one at the house the right size to replace it with. i noticed the front end looks much cleaner w/o it so i might have to try some bumper plugs or something.

go to home depot and buy some tiny little plastic plugs, i forget the exact number on the bag, but someone did post it in these forums somewhere. i then bought some touch up paint from the dealer and painted the plugs, then just popped them in place. i dont have any close up photos however here is a shot, courtesy of "chef".

Do what I did go to Home Depot go to the Hardware section and go look for fasteners and then find some touch up paint and paint them.

Mine were FREE!!

All I did was take screw cap covers off of a bookcase I bought at Target and painted them with touch-up paint. All the parts I had were around the house. So I didn't have to spend a dime on extra parts.

Plugs from Home Depot + Touch up paint will do the job.

I went to home depot to find those fasteners, but no luck. Where exactly are they at?

I took my plate off, and it is warped/dented where the holes are, bummer, but no plate will still look better for the show next week.

It's at the hardware section where the screws are. There is a drawer that says "Push in fasteners" or just "fasteners".... I can't remember.
