Plugging plate holes in front bumper
I'm going to be installing my Evo X side plate mount this weekend, if I can garner the cajones to put three new holes in my bumper... damn VA plate laws.
Anyway, when I've completed this, obviously I'll have two holes on the nose of the car and I'll need to plug them up. I'd like to make it as flush or flat as possible, but I'm open to whatever suggestions you all may have.

Theres a bunch of stuff there you could use to plug the holes. I purchased some of their 5/16" nylon hole plugs to cover the holes the stock spoiler left in the trunk. I have a black RA so i didn't have to paint them but are easily paintable for other colors.

Thank you dude, that's perfect. Although, I wish they came in metric sizes as well. I would need a 13mm plug to fit in the pre-existing holes.
On that note, I can't find a 13mm drill bit to put the plugs in the bumper... but since 1/2 inch is 12.7mm, do you think that would work just fine? I'd probably have to squeeze the plug in slightly but I don't think it'll be a problem.

I had the dealership drill my holes when i went in to get my tpms reprogrammed for my new wheels the bracket is cheaper thoruhg the dealer like 40$ and they didnt charge to install it and reprogramming was only 80$ i think so good deal overall i then went to lowes and found some tabs to put into the holes and covers it pretty nice
