I wish the dealer had given me the chance to do that, instead of drilling holes in my bumper.

When i got my car from the body shop, i told them not to drill holes in the bumper. So now im riding without a front plate. And if i ever get pulled over for not having a front plate, im just gonna say that when i got my car back from the body shop they didn't drill holes. I have the plate in my glove compartment just so i can show that i at least have it on me

Thats the truth, Just make a mounting bracket. Home depot is your friend.

I actually had a bracket since before my accident, but since they replaced the bumper with a new one and didn't drill holes into it i just didn't bother with putting it back on, so i just have my bracket sitting in my garage... plus it looks so clean without a license plate on the front... but if i do get pulled over for it (i hope not) then ill just mount it back on.

When i got mine from the dealer, somehow someone missed one of the holes to the license plate so baisicially i have 3 holes in my bumper. I have my front plate custom mounted inside, so now im stuck with ugly holes in the bumper. looks clean from a distance, but gross when u look at it close up.

anyone know if theres a way to fill the holes or do something to make it look better? or would i just have to get a new bumper to fix it?

you can do it yourself depends on how much you know.. they prolly will charge you bout 150-200 just for that coz they will say they have to paint clear coat and stuff, look around or else you might be better off getting a new bumper
