yeah there in that section with the screws and stuff ....heres a pic of what the little baggie looks like, might help you find it... the size mine was said 315 on the bag haha... make sure you get the right size cuz i messed up and didnt look at the size and brought home a plug that DOESNT FIT ! but went back and exchanged it for the "right" one haha

So its called "push in fastner"....hmm...I was at the bolt and screw section for a good 35 mins looking for these along with 3 other home depot employee's to no avail. I'm going to try another home depot tomorrow. They all know what I was talking about but just couldn't find it.

you can also get bumper plugs at auto zone or pep boys for like 1.99, they come in black and work well for bsp and fm cars

Damn, made 2nd trip to a different home-depot this morning, found the push in fastner this time, but they didnt have the right size.... Are these things really hard to get or what? or I just have some bad luck...

Arrow's right, BSP is easy to match, but I don't think it's "that" much of a difference if any color is off by a bit since they are just roughly 2 square centimeters of your car... If you must and have the cash, you can always get away with the Toyota touch up paints that they sell.

yeah...i actually just threw my tag on again...but i'm really concidering going with Monkey's idea...or leaving it off entirely until i get stopped by a cop

i wish i could put the tag off to the side tho kinda like an evo has it...



but i guess that would involve drilling more holes
(plus i don't have an intercooler....yet)


one more thing (about NY):

i've seen vette's and camero's with no tag spot on the front drive around all the time...why are the tC's singled out??? i think thats discrimination!!!

that sucks! Does the dealer make those holes in the bumper, or does it just come that way in your states? TN doesn't require a front tag and my car didn't have the holes drilled, but I can see the dimple where they would be.

yeah before my car was finished i called and asked the dealer not to drill holes, but NY state law requires it, as I'm sure is the same with other states

Yeah I live in NJ and they gave me this whole thing about how the holes are drilled in the port coming in and everything, not sure if it's BS but seems like every person that bought a new car here has the bumper holes.
