Drilled Holes solution yet? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Davesta619 · 05-19-2014, 03:06 AM

I haven't logged on lately. Was wondering if anyone shared any solution to dealership drilled holes for the front license plate yet. Want to get grimmspeed, but Im going to be really anal seeing 2 holes.

You look into plugs? I'm just going to destroy my bumper, fill holes, repeat on destroying the bumper ()=)

Just call them "Speed Holes".

Plugs will be your best bet, google 'plugs for trunk holes'

If you get the right kind of plug you can put a nut on the back for a nice tight fit.

The ones you want will have a capped "butt" at the end so they stay in place properly. Just search for the butt plug types.

Yeah, I'm saving for the CF moustache. Any plugs or attemps at filling the hole will still be visible, unless you've got a plastic mold artist handy.

You would need to drill a hole in it if you wanted to use a Grimmspeed mount.

I used these plugs - $1 at Lowe's.

Certainly better than speed holes, but not as good as a virgin bumper.

Maybe plastidip the stache? that way if you need the tow hook just rip it off. I have drilled holes too but I like my plate in the middle anyway so it never bothered me but that would be my solution if i decided to fix it.
