So I want to move the license from the center over to the side but but there is 4 pretty ugly looking holes where the license plate is currently. Does anyone have any suggestions to plug those holes? Also im not very savvy when it comes to doing custom body work, but could any one give me a pretty easy run down to covering the holes, sanding them down, and painting them to match the front bumper?

Sounds like a job for a body shop if you want to make the repair "perfect". Do you have a photo of the holes?

Definitely a job for a body shop. You will not be satisfied with whatever you do to them.

Now there are these things called bumper plugs that people use to just plug the holes. They can be sprayed to match your car too

for a quick fix, go to a local hardware store, look for black screw covers (if you have a black coupe like me)... you can put the screws back in, and add the screw cover on... doesnt look too bad... but personally i just left them alone... can barley see them anyway

terrycs-Thats what i figured at this point. I'll try to post up pictures soon. how do i do that by the way? im still new to this.

AlexN09-I've heard of those before but had a hard time finding some. do you have an sites or links that can direct me in the right path? that idea im very open too.

shift_craNK- I might look into that if i cant find any bumper plugs. And id just leave them alone as well too but i took it off the other day and they're still pretty noticeable. my Altima has the dark grey color so the holes almosy disappear but still seem pretty noticeable.

hmm.. I wonder if you can fill the holes with some paste.. I think it is the best solution.
