Default Super White Front Bumper

Does any one know if it is possible to fill the holes that were creates for the license plate on the front bumper, with some molding filling, or something like that? I actually purchased some color matching hole covers but when i removed it, it had 4 holes instead of the normal 2.

If not, I would prefer to get a new front bumper. Any one know how much this would cost or if a website sells it at a low price that is already painted?

I saw several used ones, but they had holes drilled into them already. I prefer for them to be painted instead of having extra charges later on wen I receive it. I found a website that had it for 200 I think. Not sure how much shipping was and I'm pretty sure it was not painted.

You can fiberglass the back then add body filler to cover the holes.

Paint the bumper and they're gone :D

I have a mark like that as well that came from the dealer when I took off my plates, I have touch up paint but I haven't filled it in yet because the color may not blend in, I may need to get clear coat to get that shine to it.

Never heard of that. Only issue I have is, I have 4 holes instead of two. I have plugs for the normal two, but the other two are smaller. Annoys me, not trying to have 4 plugs.

In photo shoots we use stickers. Try using white stickers that are the same color

I hit up a near by body shop and going to try and get a quote for repairing the 4 holes and getting the paint touched up. Hopefully it doesn't come out to expensive.

I went that auto body shop just to see how much they would charge and received a quote for 688 bucks just to patch up the four holes and they would repaint the whole bumper, taking 3 days to finish the job.

Well, I got a bumper off ebay from a nice place that seemed great but the upper grill mesh didn't fit correctly and it was so tight that the paint was peeling around the emblem part and bending it so I returned it and they refunded me my money and shipping which was a lot.

I have a dude coming by my work to patch them up so I'll see how well these goes, praying it ends up good haha.

He said around 250 so hopefully it turns out good and don't run into any issues. Been meaning o install the license plate relocation stuff for a while now but have never gotten the chance since I have four holes instead of two .
