Words cannot describe my love for my new car. Especially after my new Magnaflow cat back exhausts I had installed today!!!! But...I took off my front license plate bracket today....to find two ugly, disgusting, repugnant drill holes.
Please. Anyone. Any advice on how to conceal these holes? They're driving me crazy!!!

I have another question also. Any advice on how to get my emblems flat black? I'm having a flat black rally stripe put on next tuesday, and would like to match the emblems. I've seen the Plasti-Dip, but in my opinion it doesn't look as good as it could. I've also looked online, and can only find glossy black front emblems... : /

@Kakawate Thanks man! Here's some pics of my ride. I had the calipers painted red today. Really happy with how it looks. Next is powder coating the rims black!

For getting your emblems flat black honestly just use plasti dip. If you actually paint them it's not going to look much different but you won't ever be able to go back. Plasti dip is very versatile, especially with the new clears and metallizers they have.

I actually ended up using the plasti dip, and I'm really happy with how they turned out. They look factory!

I feel your pain as far as those drilled holes go, I'm definitely gonna check those plugs out, right now all i've got in there is the little rubber plugs where the license plate screws went into, im sure the plugs will look better

I just looked up bumperplugs.com and that's a very clever site. Such a simple idea yet so useful.

out of curiousity, is it really difficult to get the brake pads off the car that it's easier to just spray the entire assembly red instead of isolating the calipers before painting?

Honestly, i'm not too sure. I just took it to a wheel shop and had them do it. I did my Charger a few years ago though, and I just took the wheels off and taped off everything else.
