Ummm ................ Licence plate hole plugs (AKA - bumper plugs)? That is, if you're talking about those holes in the front bumper that the stock licence frame bolts into.

Actually, it depends on how particular you are and what color your car is.

Duct tape works reasonably well on Silverstone, and there's a red duct tape for NFR. Not sure about blue painters tape on the Laguna, though. HPH

I have seen blue, black and yellow duct tape. I think we've got all colors covered.

3$ ea. is as cheap as it gets...the shipping is what doubles the price, but it's still cheap.

Seriously folks...<rim shot>...

An issue with those %#^$* Honda plugs that's been discussed here is that they fit into the taps for the license plate screws, which are prone to falling off inside the bumper. They rattle around for a while, then fall out or something. This happened to me, and I wound up gluing the Honda plugs on. I'm not planning on taking my S to a state with front plates, so this is OK. But if you're going to do that, be aware of the issue. HPH

they should have come with the car, if not request that they give them to you free, as you paid for the said item when you bought it. Check your secret compartment for it.

This is not worth going to the dealer - phone to speak to the sales manager.

The honda parts dept will want 6.50 each for them, so if they are going to make you pay, get them from ricks for cheaper.

I found mine in my radio information card area with all my documents.
