PICS:my license plate holes fix

Nothing new I'm sure but here is my fix for my ugly front plate:

Before:


Start small and get bigger with your bits until the rivot gives out


Pull off the plate and clean up the holes:


Autozone FTW!


During the above process...6 coats of color matched white I bought from GM and 3 clear coats.


Better than how it was but of course I wish the F'n dealership left the plate off!

Danke schone....it's been fun getting it to where it is.* Those cheap ass caps were the first ever thing I've painted for one of my cars.* Again...my front bowtie is getting clearcoated and re-installed tomorrow.* It's colormatched white too so the front will look a ton better.
