Default Suggestion was considered...now done (partially)

I posted this picture of my 06LT the other day. And someone suggested I take the front plate holder off. I already had the idea of doing it but the suggestion was the push I needed. Not a huge "mod" by any means but heres what I did.



Well I removed the holder and used nylon plugs to fill the holes that the dealer drilled into the bumper.



Here's all three holes filled (smh...I couldnt think of any other way to word it). Today I'm going to grab some paint, Silverstone Metallic, and color those bad boys to match the bumper more. Beats spending 3-4 hundred dollars getting someone to do it for me...it'd probably look better tho lol.

Thanks and yea it does. A LOT better. I just dont see why dealers gotta ruin a completely nice bumper lol. Or they could at least put it on straight.

Nice! Looks great. Once you get it painted you probably won't even notice
