    License Plate Bolt Hole Cover?


    Does anyone know if Neuspeed is the only company that makes these, I Want one but don't want to spend the $20+ for one of theirs. If you've got ony lying around let me know I'll take it off your hands.

    Thanks
    Chris

    if you use bud, you'll lower the HP rating. EVERYBODY knows that. Better use 211...........

    WOW, I really appreciate all of the people that posted with answers to my question.

    to answer yours: I think it looks better that the 4 ugly bolt holes I have in the front of my bumper.
    I don't want a big shiny block of aluminum on my bumper, that's why I am looking for alternatives to the one neuspeed makes.
    and last, NOYFB why I want one, if you don't have one or know where I can get one then STFU.
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Personally I'd just fill it, sand it, prime it, sand it, and shoot it.

    I have seen on some of the newer Hondas small rectangular plastic plugs that cover the license plate bolt holes. They come in colors that match the bumper, or you can paint them. They are tapered around the edges and look decent.

    Now, I don't know for sure if you could use them on ours with the goofy four bolt holes. On ours they seem to be spaced so that you can use one set to attach the bracket, or the other set to bolt the license plate right onto the bumper.

    Either way, it looks better without it. Of course, in my case, all the A/H's who have backed into my bumper in parking lots have meesed up the cover so I have to leave the plate on (required in Texas, anyway) I have literally replaced the bracket on my car four times!

    Why not flip the Neuspeed one over and paint it to match or contrast with your bumper? At least it would be less obvious. Just another option.

    Mine has little plastic tapered plugs already. And since I don't need the front plate mine never even came with a bracket.
