Bubble gum and touch-up paint. :lol:



Actually, a little bit of bondo filler might work, but I'm not sure how long it would last...

i had an 02 front that had plate holes and i used bondo and then rattle canned it. but i would say if you aren't going to have it professionally repainted, dont mess with it. put the plate back on and let it be.

Get some little pop in caps and use some matching touch up paint and pop them in. Will be less noticeable. Our Toyota is like that with the little caps.

Bah, I would rather have holes than caps where the holes are, unless the caps are less noticeable.

That's a good idea! Go to that 'HELP!' section inside AutoZone and they sell random sized 'plugs' for like $1.99... Get some of those and some touch-up paint for your car and try that out.

My father has them on his Status color matched. Don't notice 'em unless you look for 'em

Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the back of the car. Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you're going when you hit the wall, and torque is how far you drag the wall with you.

Caps would also be a good choice if you live in a state where a front plate is required, but want to risk the ticket. Just pop out the caps, take a dated pic (newspaper next to the plate), show that to the judge, then take the plate back off and pop the caps in.

Nice find.
I think putting some strong durable colormatched stickers would work too.
