Hmmm. Good comments, thanks guys and gals. I live in NC, which does not require a front plate, otherwise this wouldn't be an issue.
I knew that there would be holes, but didn't know it would be this bad when I bought the car. Still, it wouldn't have kept me from buying it, quite frankly.

We do offer a smaller cap size now for most colors, so the plugs have a smaller diameter and may look fine.....email me anytime w/questions. Got your email this morning....hope we can make it happen for you.

) and the B&M Short Shift Kit.Any chance I can get the smaller size and see if it works? If not trade out for the bigger?
I will e-mail you as well.
Update- Eric already e-mailed me prior to me getting to him, I have to say I am very impressed with Eric/Bumperplugs!!!!!!! Thank you Eric, I hope the 4 of them work out, I saw 4 on a black car and it did not look that bad, will see what it looks like on white.

I struggled with the vanity plate vs 4 bumper plugs also. I went with the 4 bumper plugs it was the better choice as I hate front plates. The Bumper plugs are top notch you will be pleased.

Good to hear, the few pictures I have seen do not look bad. Anything is better than the front plate, it takes away the whole look of the front in my opinion.

I have holes also. I made a deal with a quality autobody shop that I would remove the front bumper cover as I am going to install a 3rd radiator kit and replace my low horn NOT covered by my CPO warranty, and deliver the car and removed front bumper cover to them for repaint. Saves money in terms of their labor time to remove it, and let them reinstall it after fresh paint.Used cars sometimes need paint, a Porsche or not. Typically they do not have to blend into the hood or bumpers if just painting the cover. Get any dings removed paintless, claybrick and a good machine polish, and apply a clear bra.orrrrr approach the car from anywhere but the front and ignore it!

If you are really bothered have the bumper painted!
When I picked u my 06 there were a few scratches on the bumper they told me no problem, painted (Guards Red) the bumper and it matches perfectly and I'm fussy!
A good body shop will remove it paint and re-install it for about $300...
