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!

:wtf2: misleading title



:stirthepot:

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

op- here's the link to the cf upper lip thingie. should cover up your plate bracket holes nicely. :p

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:

Is "thingie" the official Nissan part number? So..say I were to walk up to the parts counter and ask for a CF upper lip thingie they'd be able to take care of the OP?:tup:

really? :D i didnt think i was "addicted"... i haven't wrapped my wife in it yet..? :p

no but if you ask the zstore im sure they'll know wat you're talking about. :tup:

yeah no front plates for me. Couldn't stand it. A ticket or 2 a year is worth it for me.

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:

This is so true. VA cops will spank ya.

Are you sure this isn't her?:bowrofl:

Be thankful your bumper doesn't look like mine.

I got two holes in the black part AND two holes above it.

I'm feeling ill after seeing what's been done to your poor bumper.

thats just nasty sorry. i drive without my front plate also.......
caught the dealer before he had a chance to put it on......
it's not legal in texas so i'm pressing my luck.............
they don't mess with vettes here. .. i bet 7 out of 10 don't have them..

Try this, I was so mad. :mad:

That actually looks pretty nice. Is this aftermarket?

Thanks!

Awww I was hoping to get away with it.. Maybe in the city...

No plate on mine since I went F.I.

Will see how that goes...

Yep. Should turn out real nice. :)
