Default Euro front license plates

My car came from a state that had front plates. Therefore I have the black mounting pieces on the front bumper. Additionally, one of the PO also screwed two monting screws directly to the bumper, so I have to find a solution for those holes as well.

I am trying to decide if I go with the bumperplugs.com or order a custom Euro plate. Anyone want to show off your front Euro plate? Or have suggestions between the plate and the bumperplugs. And if you prefer the Euro plate, do you have a preference of the many vendors that provide this plate?

Go for the bumperplugs.com; you just cannot beat the clean look of no license plate..
I cannot remember his name, but he is a cool guy and very helpful.
Also, a Euro plate is much shorter then a US plate so part of the mounting bracket will stick out.

I thought the Euro plate was much wider than the US plate. At least that is what it looks like.

I never removed this plate when I brought the car back to the States. So it still looks like this ... and you're correct about the general dimensions.

I just got a 993 that had a front plate. We don't use them her so I took it off, bought a set of bumper plugs and I am completely satisfied with the clean look.

Bumperplugs or just have the holes filled and forget about it.

OK, looks like the consensus (and I have to agree this was my first choice) is to go with the clean bumper. Thanks all
