Mine didn't have holes when I bought it in Texas but I HAD to drill into my front bumper in Hawaii because they won't pass you for saftety without it mounted on the front of the car......not even When i taped it on lol.

See, I don't want to do plugs because I'll still see them on the front bumper. If they repaint the entire front bumper, then the car will go from being brand new to not so brand new. Also, the paint won't match 100% like it does from factory; you'll be able to tell that it has been painted and re-clear coated.

I know if I walk on the car they are going to be pissed, because they had to trade a vehicle for it and then they will be stuck with a Nismo on the lot.

Just have them fill it and paint it. It' snot that big of a deal. These cars retain their value really well. If you have it professionally done no one gives a crap.

They don't have to repaint the entire bumper. They can fill the holes and then blend the paint just in that area. I took my bumper to a body shop last year and had them fill in the holes and paint. The paint match was awesome and you would never know there were holes there. I think I paid like 300 bucks for it.
