I relocated my plate to the tow hook via a Craven Speed mount. I want to get rid of the old mounting holes in the bumper. Are body shops able to fill the holes before respray? I am debating, repair, replace with stock or upgrade to Aero. Since a respray is mandetory, I am just debating the different expenses. I just can't stand looking at the holes, and putting the plate back on the bumper is not an option.

 

They can most likely fix it for not too much added cost. BUT this would be my chance to justify the aero bumper if that.s what I wanted. Ha-ha!!!

 

My thoughts exactly!
Trouble is that adds almost $600 to the cost of the respray.
I have to choose between new bumper or new wheels since I did not win the 1.5 billion Power Ball last week.
Heck, I would have settled for a million.

 

Yea go to the aero if you can,

Most good shops can fill them and respray.

Otherwise you take the mount off and put the self tapping screws back in and cover them with these caps on the head of the screws
