What are you guys using to fill in the holes in the front bumper(or any part of the bumper for that matter)? Where do you buy it and for how much?
My story: I need to replace my billet grille with another one just like it. I won't get into why, but I need to fill the holes with some compound that when I screw the new grille back in it will hold just as good as the first grille. I can't go larger screws or that would be an option. I am worrying about the holes where the previous screws being too big not to hold the new grille.

so you need to fill the holes so you can thread the new screws in? if so try something like a fast drying panel bond or a 2 part epoxy,try to sand the back of the holes,tape from backside then fill with what ever you use,you can try fiberglass but i dont think it will last,best to drill a smaller hole then the screw first then rethread
