Default Where to get front plate plugs

I've noticed in many of the S2000 photos that the two holes in the front bumber have painted plugs in them. Can anyone tell me where I can get these?

Check first to see if they are in your car, either in the "glove" box, or in the upper "secret box". If not, the dealer should give them to you. My dealer did...

Are you saying that these plugs should have come with the car?

Yes, they should have some with the car, a lot of dealers say that they "throw them out" when they most likely give them to the parts department to sell to you later.

They do come with the car. My dealer popped them out and threw them away. In WA state, a front plate is required so with that reasoning the dealer didn't give them to me. They offered to save some from the next car for me but I decided just to keep the front plate to avoid any hassles.

You can get them from a dealer I know.

You could have a good argument with the dealer to provide them for you since they are not in the business of enforcing law.

Ring around a few local dealers and you'll probably pick up a set for free. They are often found in technician's toolboxes.

here they are actually - they are required to ensure a front plate is on the car before they issue a state inspection sticker,

To ensure it's on, not throw away parts of the car to get one on.
