how to fix front end...

my license plate looked damn tacky so i took it off...well...bad idea. now the paint is chipping like crazy around where the holes to the bracket were. IMO our cars look a lot better w/o plates covering up the nose. I was thinking of doing the same thing as zupmanz28 did here.

The only prob is, where the screw holes are, each hole sticks out like a damn nipple. LoL anyway, is there a way i can sand it down and fill it with sumthing like bondo or sumthing?

You can vagely see the paint chipping and the 'nipples' in the bumper in the pic below. any suggestions on what to use and how to do this?

I see the nipples. You could sand those down and fill it with Bondo since the holes are so small.

Where would you have the front plate them?


In IL, the law requires front liscence plates so I have no choice.

took the plate completely off of the car. Here in iowa, if you dont have a place to mount the plate, you dont have to have one. ....and beings i took off the bracket..oops...no place to mount it.
