removing front plate
Wondering if anyone has removed there front plate. I need to do this but don't want to look at two little holes there. So what would be the best way to repair the little holes? Thanks a lot.

I'm so happy I asked the dealer not to put a front plate on the car before buying it!

That's is bs.. the car shipped without holes on it.. Since I saw new cars without bumper holes in the lot. I did remind the sales not to drill it.. Otherwise I will refuse to deliver. |

There is something called bumper plug... do a search on the Google.
Or you may apply a front bumper sticker |

Is it legal to have only a rear plate??? Here in Ontario you'll get booked.. and the $110 ticket is a pain in the ass...

Most states I think you can get away with it. From what I've seen in Michigan, Florida, North Carolina and Illinois. See alot of empty front of cars or vehicles w/ (gay/retarded) vanity plates. hahaha, oh well, to each their own. Unless I had some uber-cool vanity plate in mind that just suited me to a tee and really represent me or my car, id go w/ none if i didnt hafta have two Jem

Unfortunately we do not stock a match for this color. We can, however, produce it for you if you are interested. Custom orders are $129 and you will receive three sets of plugs in the exact matching factory finish. Or you might ask the dealer to swap your bumper for another undrilled one when it arrives at their dealership. Let me know anytime. Thanks! |

Wow.. I bet you forget to say you got a TOYOTA Yaris... not Porsche Yaris. $129 for painting two dinky plastic plugs?! |

You can also take clear epoxy and add a few drops of touch up paint to it and inject into the holes, should be a perfect match when hard. I've used this technique in knifemaking for handles many times.
