Default front license plate holes?

just wondering about the front license plate holes, i've seen quite a bit of s2000's on this forum without a front plate. did u guys take off the front plate and plug the 2 holes? or did it come like that from the factory? thanks.

You can get color matched bumper plugs from the dealership. Or you can shave the holes.

The license plate hole plugs were the first thing I bought after I got the car. They were $10.23 direct from the dealer. Everyone has a slightly different price. Another dealer I went to for my first S2000 had it for $13 and change. Hardtopguy has it for $10something, but for something that small, I'd just pick it up from the dealer.

Rajun,

How do you "shave" the holes? I don't get it.

Sorry for my dumbness . . .

when Ive seen it done - there was some sanding/grinding to get the nubs smooth, then some fiberglass work, some bondo/sanding work, then a respray of the bumper

I had a custom decal of my license plate made. Same reflective backing, colour and font as a real plate. I removed the plate bracket and all hardware, then stuck the decal directly to the bumper.

Looks awesome and takes care of the hole issue as well.

Cost was $25
