the plate i bought for the front of my car is cracked, and i've decided that i'm tired of having the damn thing at all and i'm gonna get me some bumper plugs (also gonna plug up the driver's side keyhole)

i did some searching on here for people who've removed it, but i didn't find anything on what tools may be necessary. i'm hoping it's a pretty simple procedure and doesn't require a flamethrower, backhoe, and/or wrecking ball

You mean to put on the bumper plugs? You just drill out the existing holes a little bit to make them wider then you just push the plugs in!

To remove the license plate holder? You need a screwdriver.

Any of those will do.

One of these would probably work too...but I wouldn't recommend it.

well, it depends on how fancy your dealer was when they installed it... some of them have bolts with locking washers behind the plate for extra stability...

I would say some pliers (or a monkey wrench), a phillips head screw driver and a flat head screw driver should cover the bases regardless of how the dealer attached your plate holder.

I know how you feel bruh, I tool mine off as well, and used NIssan bumper plugs to fill in the holes!
