Same here in TN. I am getting kinda ____ed because there are alot of young kids getting tC's and they are ricing them out and drawing negative attention to us! I wish they would just stick to honda civic's!

if you're talking about the keyhole you can use a penny. cover one side of the penny with bondo or something similar. level it off til you get a flat surface. prime it. paint it. then take some kind of glue/epoxy, something thick, and glue it onto the keyhole.

Finally found these inserts at "Home Depot" and brushed it with Factory CSM Touch-Up Paint for 8 Bucks...

You can put them to the side like the EVO. Just get one of those brackets from that dude in hawaii. I asked the dealer not to put my front plate on. I said I would put it in the window until I got home and used my hawaiin bracket.

I'm thinking of hitting up the Home Depot tonight to buy those plugs and maybe an Auto Zone to get some touch up paint.

I was browsing eBay and saw this "relocator" for $9.00 and was wondering if anyone with a tC has used this type of relocater? I saw that other relocator that someone posted, that one looks like it can be made relatively easy.

If anyone is interested I have an elegant solution that is better then the plugs and you will not be able to see the holes. I am making this product for my guys as Spyderchat and would like to know if many people here do not use their front license plate to be worth doing this on a larger scale. If there is enough interest I can do this as a one time GB.

Just let me know.

Thanks
Dev

now that my plugs are color matched and my plate mounted on the "foglight" grill... my wife wants me to do her front plate too... definitely the way to go... not the $25 ones from online...

The easiest way is pop out top grille and just reach in and squeeze.....

Home depot and lowes both have plugs in the hardware aisle in the bins............open them and look around you will find easy enough..........there are several types that will work.......use filler primer and then just brush on with touch up paint pen and it is good to go,all clear coat if needes,but if you pu the pait on well with pen it is not needed.....

I told my sales person specifically to drill no holes on my bumper.
I'm soo glad they didn't

Even if you guys plug those holes it will still bother you when you look at it hahaha
