Front Lisence plate

I would like my front plate taken off. Anyone in S. Cali have recommendations on someone who can take plate off and fill in the gaps left by the screws?

I took it off and bought color matched bumper plugs to fill in the holes. That was a $20 DIY.

Forget drilling into your bumpers at all.

Buy this: http://moweraxle.com/licenseplatebra...esbmwkits.html

All you do is screw the license plate holder into your tow hook and then screw your plate onto the holder and there you go. No holes, better for you...very nice for resale.

+1 I have the rho plate and like it, also do the bumper plugs as others have said.

On a side note a member on mfest made a tow hook plate bracket that seems pretty awesome, its a quick connect/disconnect. Check it out.
