I was searching for ways to cover up those nasty holes that the dealer drills into our bumpers to put license plates on... LAME!

So I searched around and tried some places which charged $33 shipped for plugs with one problem, the holes Infiniti have in the bumper are larger than any company I've been able to find to will fit Infiniti holes.

Soooo, I figured I would start making them. I was curious to see if there is an interest for them and I can order and have them made on a larger scale. If you are interested, please have your car, year, and color. I was thinking of selling the sets for $25 shipped, so two plugs and the paint would be custom to be a PERFECT color match with actually factory gloss paint... not the cheap crap from like home depot or pep boys.

Let me know... THANKS!

Well, I was lucky enough that no one drilled holes in my bumper, and never put a plate on the front. My wife wants me to put a plate on the front (since it is the law here) but I don't want to. I don't want the holes in the bumper. What I am looking for is a plate holder that will screw into the tow bolt on the front of the G. I haven't found one yet, so I am thinking about manufacturing one. KulG35, if you know of such a plate holder, will you let me know? Thanks!

I am not that lucky we have the same stupid law here in Canada(not in Quebec). I hate it. I think it's gay. The same law in europe but overethere they let you have a sticker licence on the front. It is better then the big chunk of plastick and metal mix. You can even pick the size. 3 different sizes.

The day I end up getting a fix it ticket here in Cali is the day I buy this Stillen bracket.

Also have seen trim molding plugs purchased at automotive stores for a few bucks, then painted to match the car color.
