Front license plate holder.
 

Does anyone know how to remove the license plate holder on the front of your car without destroying it or leaving holes in your bumper?
Thanks

There is no way to do it without leaving holes. But, those could be filled in various ways. All you have to do to remove it is to drill out the aluminum rivets with a variable speed drill set at a medium speed.

this is why i havent installed my front plate yet. its been almost a year and i cant bring myself to drill holes in my bumper. its illegal to not have one here but i havent been pulled over or hassled by the cops yet.

ill harass you about it saturday, no worries

Aprox. how big are the holes that are left?

they are probably about 1/8" each.

i covered the holes with black tape.

but, i do have my plate on.

below the bumper.

sneaky.

My bottom 2 holes were covered by a body kit and as for the top 2, I took some electrical tape and put it on the back side of the bumper and some touch up paint around the inside of the hole itself...they were noticable if you were looking, otherewise, you didn't even know they were there.

on my white alero, the holes are fairly noticable, but i plan on filling em in and doing some really thick stripes down the entire car. as far as the lisence plate, ive relocated mine to the passengers side attached to the leBra hood protector. some say it looks good others hate it. i like it tho. but the holes arent that bad on darker colors.

mine came with holes in it too :( I'm actually thinking about getting a plate holder and plate for the front, if I can find a cool oldsmobile one or something..

you can see how i did mine.

look under the bumper..

Well see I do not need to have a plate on the front of my car here.

get some grill mesh and put the plate on that using zip ties?

no front plate here
when they fixed my car and used a bumper with holes in it I made them replace it. they put a new one on no holes :yahoo:

Well decided to take it off last night.
Heres what it looks like now:

even with the small holes, i think it looks a lot better

I'd rather have the holes than the big black box of doom attached to the front of my car

Yep ... if you don't have to have a front plate, any car would look better without that plate holder on the front.

Well the asses I got my car from just screwed the plates to the damn bumper, no threaded guides or anything, but one of my friends said that If I wanted a cheap way to hide them he would use some of that wood filler or rubberized caulk and fill them in, let it set and just paint them with touch up paint. I got to admit it looks pretty good, he did his caddy like that and you cant tell they were there unless you get right up on it.

Along the same lines, I'm going to need to add a front plate holder. Any tips on that? Just go to the JY and find one and plug and play, right?
