So my front license plate was bugging me relentlessly because it was a little bit crooked. Finally I decided to remove the bracket and fill the holes just so I could see the front of my car without the bracket looking rediculous. Here is how I did it. First I set out my tools. Phillips screwdriver, drill and bits and the plugs I got from autozone for two dollars.


Get the plate off by taking out the screws and decide what your starting bit will be. I went with a 1/8 because thats the smallest one I have. I worked my way up to a 5/16 bit until the rivet fell out.

Just drill right through the middle.


When I got mine off finally, it looked really crappy under so I wiped it off with a sponge and some soapy water.

Now your going to fill the holes with the little fasteners. This is what mine looked like. Luckily they matched pretty well and I didnt need to paint them.


They just slide in there pretty tight. (Make sure your largest drill bit is still a bit smaller than the diameter of these plugs. That way they fit real tight)


Still need to polish/wax the area where the bracket scratched the paint a little. Got my license plate in my front window until I figure out what to do with it so I dont get in trouble with the authorities. (Maybe hide-a-plate?) Either way, this is the finished product, took me like 15 minutes.

I am wanting to do this but not sure how law enforcement will like it. Anyone have an idea on how Texas LE will take it?

How do you get the river out from the inside part of the bumper?
