Looks great!
I remember waiting in showroom waiting for them to bring car around front when I bought it and the salesman walked by and said 'Almost done were just getting the front plate installed'...
I practically spit my coffee out and yelled the deal is off if they drilled front bumper, they didn't.

looks very good.
I just moved to FL - only plate in the back and wanted to remove the front I also found 4 holes. I put it back and made a custom plate with a German Company that makes plates.
Eventually my plan it to get a GT3 front and rear bumper

Timely. Looking at a car that inexplicably has the dreaded front plate bracket. Plugs looks terrible, especially if there are 4 holes. $900 seems excessive, but infinitely better than staring at an ugly bumper. Nice work!

I had Colors on Parade fix the holes in a black turbo for less than $200 and you could not tell from 2 feet. They are a franchise group and the quality is up to the tech but they have the tools and knowledge.

Looks great, but wow...that seems expensive. I had my 997 turbo rear deck lid and spoiler re-sprayed plus a small fiberglass crack repaired for a total of $700. This from the most reputable paint shop in the Atlanta area.
Still, looks WAY better than bumper plugs!
