Bumper Plugs
 
Hi,

My car came with the front license plate mount and I took that off, but now there are two ugly white plugs mounted in the bumper. I want to take them off and maybe get some black plugs from somewhere. But I'm not sure how to go about removing these plugs. From the manual, it looks like there is a 90 degree anchor holding them in! Is it even possible to take these out without damaging the bumper?

Thanks!

Grant R.

how about you mask off the plugs and just paint it while it's still on the car?

how about some e-tape or vinyl or 3M DiNoc?

or just get a upper CF cover for the fang area and be done with it? :)

Man I wish I could run no front plates... I lasted a whole THREE days before I was pulled over. :(

You are lucky the dealer didn't drilled 2ea - 1 inch holes on the bumper.

yep, getting pulled over for no front plates got old for me too. when i bought the Z the dealer asked me to install it at home since he knew i was a car guy and pretty picky. :D

I actually broke the white plugs off trying to remove them. Then I used some black motorcycle windscreen screws as plugs.

Time for an intervention. Your addiction to DiNoc is becoming dangerous. :roflpuke2:

I would kept mine without the front license plate too.

But to go on base I need the freaking front license plate.

Plus the Republic of VA cops don't play, if I get pull over then I will get a ticket for no front plates, ilegal tint and exhaust. :mad: :shakes head:
