Plugs or not. It really ticks me off that someone would DRILL holes in your bumper for a license plate to begin with. smh

I see the typical keyboard ninja troll comments here, some people need to get a life. This looks much better than the black holes. This is a good fix without spending hundreds of dollars to fill the holes and paint the bumper. Nice job.

So happy to find these little guys. I just bought a 2018 Mercedes and I HATE front plates with a passion. Illinois front plate laws be damned, I'm going without.

Yea I think I’m just gonna get my bumper repainted. I’m too ocd to look at that every day it’s gonna hurt my brain. I won’t be able to sleep at night.

I literally went on Amazon and bought a 240 pc set of assorted plugs for $20.00 When it arrives tomorrow I'll just pick up a can of spray paint from Home Depot for $5.00 and when I'm done plugging my bumper I'll have 238 plugs leftover if I ever need them for future projects. These are the plugs that hold in trunk liners and plastic fenders and whatnot. They always come in handy.

The fact car makers don’t include factory removable license brackets should be illegal. Never understood the practice of drilling through painted bumpers.

Thanks for making this video, I was on the fence, but now I think I'll follow through. Considering that my front bumper on a Mustang GT will be full of freeway bugs and rock scratches, I'd rather not overspend on getting the bumper painted for two holes.

Filling them yourself and using color matched touch up paint... Build a slight bump, then sand just that spot with 800. Clear coat the spot, sand with 1000 & 2000, then polish. It will look way better, and it uses materials you should already have for maintenance and paint correction.

“How to fix drilled bumper holes..”
**Drills larger holes

[robertbrody]

The problem here is that you must drill out a LARGER hole, which screws up the car for putting the plate BACK if need be.

[Built]

Try drilling a 1/4" hole with a 1/4" drill bit, it's much more successful.

[randomstudent]

For any complaining about the look, most front and rear bumpers have bumps for sensors anyways and it's hardly noticeable or at least most don't care they're there.

[Pcpower]

I don't understand why they can't just make the plugs the same size as the screw holes so people don't have to make the holes bigger themselves. Just risks messing up the bumper more and won't allow you to re-attach the front plate if needed

[dctalon]

Ill be grabbin some right now after this vid ...looks waay better than the holes!! And it kinda makes it look like a sensor too

[SirT]

I have SIX holes that need to be plugged up 🤦🏾‍♂️. I ordered some color matched plugs and really hoping for the best!

[thelimitperformancetrainin]

Great video, I’m doing this tomorrow, my bumper is black so the plugs from my auto store are a perfect color match. Thanks

[jdigitalseven]

9/32 bit works better....just straight back and then reverse out. Much cleaner opening.

[alecjohnscotthall]

you drilled an even larger hole to fit the plugs in??? this is a BMW not a honda civic:O

[somejackball]

makes no sense to me the way dealers drill holes in brand new cars, some as high 60k and up! let the owner decide i say, besides even if u need one up front (we dont where i am), u have 30 days or whatever, why drill holes in a new car right off the bat, pretty dumb!

[bestcurtisever]

Exactly what I was looking for. They look great
