Front Tag
 
I want to remove my front tag... But I don't want it to look like crap cause there is holes there in the bumper. Any ideas what to do?

Thanks

Depending on where you are, is it not illegal to do that and by tag I guess you mean your front license plate? I would think doing that would earn you a checking out by a cop.

Here in Alberta Canada we have no front plate which makes the front look real clean. When I bought my P5 it was new so no holes.

Some dealers might have plugs for the holes - you can also check other car dealers - some makes of cars have the holes pre-drilled, and plugs in them in states that don't require front plates - the car comes from the factory with small plugs in the holes - use your touch-up paint and you're done.

I also recommended to another person (foxymazda, maybe?) that you can go to any body shop and ask them for "hood liner clips" or "insulation plugs" or something like that - basically, it's just a plastic push-it retainer, shaped kinda like a nail - but with a larger head, and the shaft has plastic "burrs" on it - once you push it into the hole, it's not going to come out. Two of those and some touch-up paint and you should be good to go. If you look at the rubber gasket that seals your hood, you'll see those clips holding it in place - those are what I mean.

Local hardware stores care hole plugs, a round cover with a clip that will fit down in the hole. Add a little touch up paint to the surface, and will should look just fine... :p

"hood liner clips" or "insulation plugs" or something like that
This is what I did and they gave me two for free. I painted them with the factory color before I put them in and it looks flush up close and not even noticable up close. But like others said, depending on where you live you are just asking to be pulled over. I myself never got a ticket but have been pulled over twice.
