I like all vehicles without plates but if you don't have a plate you have holes. So I guess I choose plate.

no plate, to cover the holes, keep the screws in or buy the push plugs.

Definitely no plate. I had a plate on mine and removed it, had the holes filled with "panel bond" and then simply used touch-up paint to cover it. Looks good and was free! (minus the touch-up paint)

in the middle of where the plate holder touches the car it left a line of no paint which is visible when i have it off, so how much does it cost to get that touched up? and thanks for the bumper plug site, im going to consider ordering those

If I had a choice, it would be no plate for me, but in NY, it is required, not an option.
