When I bought my xa, I made the capital crime of screwing on the front license plate holder onto the front bumper. I don't know why I did this, maybe I'm just an idiot. Any ideas on covering up the holes if I take it off.

Or should I just get a plate for the front?

 

the dealer did mine i was so mad when i wen to tkae it off i just put it right back on and the best part is they did it a little crooked just get a plate to much work to fill in and paint easier to get plate

 

I was wondering how little silver plugs would look. I have a silver xa, just curious.

 

it might look ok worth a shot anyway. depends on how much you want to spend you buy a ground effects front bumper

 

bondo baby,some fiber glass, and bondo, or just some bondo, the holes arnt too big, its not that hard, but you do have to know how to paint and wet sand

 

before i painted my xB i had some small black plugs in the holes. it looked ok. since then, i have filled the holed with bondo and repainted the car.

 

thanks, I might try to find some silver plugs for now. I've never used bondo or fiberglass.

 

fill the holes with epoxy and when dry cover with some touch up paint

 

the plugs work just fine. a few guys around here have done it and it looks ok

 

Actually when I took off my license plate, and the screws, I threw on some chrome license plate screws. It looks pretty good with the silver.

 

the dealership did mine...but i dont care, i was pretty irate though first tiem around...plus those two holes put more air into my engine bay!!!

 

For some reason, around my city, the cops love pulling people over for not having a license plate. It's one of their biggest ways on catching people doing something bad. I've just left mine on, I don't want the hassel. My sister has a mildly modified 99 civic and she's been pulled over twice in the last year. Low crime rate = bored and creative cops.

 

The dealership informed me that xA's come with pre-made divots in the front bumper showing where to drill. Supposedly regardless of if you actually have a license plate frame actually on the bumper, you can still see where it was supposed to go.

Frankly, I dont see why you really care. I love my xA as much as the rest of you, but its still just painted plastic. Who cares where you put the license plate?

 

Stick some LEDs in the holes! ;)

 

oh mylanta... people! what is with the high tech fix of such a simple issue. Goto bumperplugs.com. They are a porsche tuner or something of that nature and they sell bumper plugs to match most any paint code and if they dont have it, send them the paint code. Theyll match it up. The IIP is under the toyota celica blue. Theyre $24.

 

thanks, i'll have to check out the site
