Just go to a auto part store like AutoZone and buy some hole plugs for like 2 bucks and paint them your self. Even a home improvment store will have some plugs you could use. You might have to drill the hole little bigger.

Suit yourselves and waste your time painting and searching. Or get a quality product shipped right to your door.

i just tried looking for a picture in my photobucket and i cannot. But they come paint matched to your car already. So that is another step that you have to do. Go to the stealership for touch up paint.

These plugs make the c ar look so much better. Slight drilling will have to be done, but not much. and they snap right in...

I got the bumper plugs like a year ago..I love them. When I got my car It had to be a dealer trade, and of course they one they got was from NJ, so it had the front license plate thing on.Besides, a year from now who's going to remember if you spent 25 bucks on a quality product or 10 or so and a lot of time?

however, if you were so inclined to do it yourself, I would make sure I color match it. If its off I thinjk they would be noticeable, and consequently your A/C would appear to have a nice set of nipples!

That write up is great and well done. If you car is black the cost is 2 dollars, but if not the cost will be up to 12 dollars. I just think for the extra few bucks you can get the real thing perfectly color matched with no work on the plug or sanding/painting.

Here is another write-up i found while searching google.

you're either filthy stinking rich or just plain stupid to spend $25 on a plug that costs 50 cents.

lol man no way im not rich. But i will tell you my free time that i dont work is worth more an hour than what i get paid at work.

For example if i made 10 dollars an hour at work, my free time would be worth 50 dollars and hour. so if im not saving a ton its not worth it.

The time you would spend going buying all these parts, sanding, painting, repainting and in the end you will still be left with an inferior product. I know they are only stupid plugs but i was really impressed with the quality. The paint color matched perfectly and the fitment was excellent.
