Question Replacing the BRZ mustache

I'm looking at a grimmspeed or perrin license plate relocation kit for my BRZ. But if i move it to the new position, my BRZ is gonna have two ugly holes in his mustache. Is there a DIY to repair this or is there a purchaseable replacement grille? Just curious about what I need to do..

I'm in a similar spot and would like more info. From what I've heard, the whole bumper must be replaced to change the 'stache. Best option might be to take it to a body shop, have the holes filled and then wrap the mustache in gloss/matte black or carbon fiber.

Yeah, you'd have to replace the whole bumper; no way to order that piece OEM or aftermarket. I have the same two holes.. I tried sanding them down a bit to make them less noticeable but since it's textured it's still really obvious. I almost considered just buying some cheap Wal-Mart plastic trim pieces and gluing them on there for now lol (only kidding).

Yea there are CF cover options, but you will need to drill your own holes for the tow hook area I believe.
