yeah i need help taken out the 3 bolts holding my front lisence plate holder on..i tried pulling but i dont wanna break my bumper..anyone kno how to take them out?? if i have two of these threads out my bad guys..i cant find the first one so i'm assuming it didnt go through..

 

bump for info.....

 

wow it's not that hard... jst unscrew them

 

I'm pretty sure they are pop rivited on. You just have to get a drill motor and a small drill bit and drill the center of it out.

He said front license plate not the rear.

 

+1

drill the rivets

 

Anyone making a color to match plug kit to plug up the holes?

 

That i do not know. I know you can get them filled by plastic welding because i've done it before but not sure as far as a plug. Sorry

 

mine came in the trunk with screws...

 

Yes some did come with screws but this one was rivited on. More than likely if it came from the dealer with it already on the front bumper it was pop rivited on the car not screwed.

 

You can drill them out and fill them carefully with plastic bondo and then use touch up paint to cover -- take your time and it can come out OK -- not any less noticable then plugs.

Be careful too when drilling them out as they tend to start spinning when you get close to drilling the tops off.

 

mine were just screwed in, i know he was talking about the front...

 

One thing to remember. "Plastic Bondo" that red07SSNA is talking about is called "Polyflex" It is a bondo that can stretch with the movement of the plastic with less chance of cracking.

BUT...Here is the issue...When using any kind of filler to fill a void on a surface that is in contact with direct sunlight for the majority of its life, remember the bumper will flex so you "might" see the circles even after words. Just a little FYI from the auto body technician side of things.

Like i said the only way to do it right is to plastic stick weld. Then u are using the existing plastic and adding some new to fill in the whole just like plug welding with a MIG welder. There is a slim chance of seeing any kind of marks of it ever being there.

 

mine came already on the car also

 

mine didnt come even drilled out! yay! i have no holes in my bumper

 

Well bruiserinpink you got lucky with that aspect on it. Someone got a little lazy at your dealer lol. Nothing surprising though lol.

 

mine too. Lolz

 

it'd been nicer if they didn't put it on at all but they put that stupid black holder on all their cars there..

 

mine was in the trunk too

no holes FTW!

 

I woulda told them to take that **** off.

I had a dealer plaque on the back of my truck when I bought it in 05 and i told them to take it off that if they wanted publicity that word of mouth works better than ruining a paint job... They tried taking it off and ended up repainting the tailgate because they fucked it up.

 

i would have kicked my salesman ass, had they drilled holes in my front bumper

bad enough they put a sticker on the back of the car, i took it off, they put another one after my first oil change

i had a few words, with the people in service, they wont be attempting to put it back there anymore

 

yeah i know i thought it was soo gay how they put those holders on the front of the car.. it just makes it look terrible!
