How To Mount Front Bumper License Plate Filler?
 
So I've decided to order a front bumper license plate filler instead of having my bumper repaired. I have a triangular crack in it at the upper left corner extending down to the bottom left right where the license plate would mount. If I order a filler am I going to be able to mount it? How do these fillers mount? I don't want to order something and then realize that because of the way my bumper is cracked in the license plate area that the filler will not work.

Thanks guys. :thumbsup:

The top has tabs that go into the bumper, and then there are 2 screws on the bottom.

So at the top I noticed there is like a half inch "vent" or opening with a couple larger areas on the very ends of that vent or opening would that be where the "tabs" go?

Also on the bottom of the bumper cover I noticed what almost what looks like a couple "pilot" holes started in the bumper (2 on each side) would that be where it gets screwed to the bumper cover by chance?

So basically if I want to mount a bumper filler and there are not holes to do so I will actually have to drill into the bumper cover correct?

That would be completely correct.

You'll know more clearly once you have the cover in your hands.

OK I might be able to make that work then. :D

Thanks for the help!!!

OK just snagged one on Ebay. I'll have to repaint it but dude only wanted $43.00 for it which is over half the price off of what it is anywhere else. :thumbsup:
