For those of you with grimmspeed or perrin license plate relocator

Just got mine on my car, however i didn't drill into the bumper plug. Now theres the big hole there and you can see the white bumper foam. Do you think this would be an issue with rain?

Well i actually ended up just drilling the hole! I wish that one of the companies that manufactured these front license plate holders would produce a new cover. I would buy one to avoid drilling anything myself!

It is possible to put the tow hook cover back on the car easily once it's taken off?
Does it have some sort of plastic clips?

if someone has a solution for this i would appreciate it too - i unfortunately purchased my fr-s that was already at the dealership (6-9-12) and they drilled the license plate holder in but it looks like the actual 2 screws at the top of the license plate are actually in the bumper about 1/3 of the screw in.

i have heard of bumper plugs for porsche;s but i dont know how good of a match their paint is to ours?

That's it indeed. Part number brings up a valid part with purchase price as well, excellent. Good work Manny!

Looks like this is way better to install on the FR-S. No drilling actually needed
