Body Holes from Stock License Plate
So recently I purchased a license plate relocation kit and put my license plate down by the towhook. Looks nice, clean and sporty BUT I now have small body holes in my front bumper. I have a 2005 MCS in Metallic Hyper Blue. I really want to fill these holes. Has anyone had this issue? Can anyone suggest a solution? Definitely want something DIY and colormatched. Thanks. Appreciate any help at all.
Also could someone post a link to where i can find the stock rear endlinks? I need new ones

Most have the holes filled, sanded and painted. That looks the best but also costs the most.
Others have found some plastic/nylon plugs at the hardware store to do the trick.
This site offers color match. I don't know anything about them, but found it in an old post.http://www.bumperplugs.com/index.php...y&path=1_11_88

I came across with bumperplugs years ago and they are NICE! One can order it to match your OEM colors. A little pricey like everyone would agree.
What I did to cover my license plate holes was to get a pair of plugs (they come in plastic and in black) from Lowes in their hardware aisle where all the nuts and bolts are. These plugs come in different sizes.. Once I trimmed off the unnecessary pieces for a better fit, instead of painting it.. I ordered a vinyl wrap sample from eBay for $0.99 to match the color that I needed. I plugs before inserting it to the hole and made sure it's pushed in tightly and snug.
All for less than $4.
Best of luck!
