License plate bracket

[Symetry]

I don't need the front license plate bracket in KY. Don't like it .

I looked at it today , looks like it's plastic and just snaps on .

2 snaps in white part of bumper and one snap in the black part of bumper.

Any tricks to removing it .

Then plugging the three holes.

Thanks

Jim

They are just plastic rivets. Some drill the centers out. I just took a flat head screwdriver and pryed off the edge. Either way works. The holes are 1/4".

Are there special plugs of matching color I can purchase.
Looks like 2 white 1 black.

bumperplugs.com. You certainly can DIY if you have the time and inclination.

Drill the rivets and then find the perfect fender clips to your liking. I found some Mazda fender clips at pep boys that were big enough for the rivet holes (i eyeballed and got lucky, didn’t really measure lol) and had a small top end. Color match the two up top and the trim can just stay black

Thanks
I'll look for some.
We don't have Pep Boys but we have lots other autoparts stores.

Yes sir, there should be a wide array across different makes. I just tried to find the smallest and unnoticeable ones (just my preference). I didn’t have to paint mine since it’s black, I probably should though

Darn , in I think I may have some of those in one of my shop drawers. White should be easy to match with paint .

Black is easy also.
