I've removed the side strakes from my car and am now left with the dreaded holes in the side. Has anybody found a good way to plug the holes? I was hoping there was some sort of snap-in finishing piece that I could just paint the same color as the car. Any suggestions?

 

a bodyshop could probably fill it in and dab some paint on the fill

 

Pics now or it didnt happen

 

Huh?

 

front license bumper plugs

best pic I can find of my car

 

Is it the photo or is your front bumper orange peeled that bad?

 

naw, i was messing with lightroom and added to much sharpness and junk...

 

bumper plugs - awesome idea!!

 

How did you get the bumper plugs to work? I just went and tested this out on my car since I already have the bumper plugs in the bumper. Each bumper plug has two studs coming out of it, but the hole from where the side strake was is just one hole, and the hole diameter is larger than even one stud off the bumper plug. So even if I snipped off one of the studs on the bumper plug I still don't see how it would stay in place in the side strake hole.... How'd you get that to work?

 

you use a emblem glue found at autozone.... You take cut the two studs off, apply the emblem glue and your good to go!
