Front Bumper Mustache Holes - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Splicer006 · 07-19-2014, 11:55 PM

In my last car I got pulled over twice for no front plate. So I got the Grimmspeed plate relocator one and put a 1 inch hole in the tow hook cover. I removed the stock center plate holder and now I have two holes where the last owner screwed right in to the bumper. Anyone have any ideas on what I can do about the two holes in the mustache now. The holes kind of pull away from the body and other me a lot. I know the part is attached to the molding so I cant just remove it and add a grille.

Could always vinyl wrap the mustache.

Has anyone wrapped this portion? that is an excellent idea! I got two holes, and id like to match my front CF lip.

You can use small plugs.

vinyl, or plasti dip. I plasti dipped my rear oem diffuser portion of the bumper after putting the car backwards through the woods at a high rate of speed. Plasti dips thickness and self leveling properties worked at filling in all the cuts I had.

Sanding it smooth and using vinyl is probably your best bet though.

There is a lot of texture to sand AND get smooth for vinyl. I think Ill get some pics tomorrow. Im thinking I can back fill the holes with some sorta black putty and cut off the section of plastic that is pushed out.
