solutions for Front License plate holes? retractable front license
First off, I was thinking about making or buying one of those retractable front license plates for my LT1 formula... Has anyone done this? Also, If I do so I will have 2-3 decent size holes in my front bumper left from my license plate bracket... what have you guys done with these holes? Fill/paint them? Get flat head screws to put in? Any more CLEAN options?

yes yes, that link is where I got the idea for the retractable plate. I was just worried if I fill in the holes, then I will have to do a touch up job with white paint and it might be a little off and maybe noticable. But, if I get bolts or something to fill the holes with it might even look worse... trying to decide between the two evils

I just left my holes there...but my car is black. In your case I'd fill them and use white touch-up paint. It may not look perfect, but it will definitely look better than three open holes in your bumper cover. Or you can have them filled/smoothed and the bumper repainted at a shop, but that would cost ~$350
