Well, I am in Pennsylvania but I bought the car in West Virginia. Unfortunately WV has a front plate law and we do not here in PA. So, since the car was pre-owned, it had the front plate adapter thing on the front therefore I now have four black holes (did they really have to use four screws?) in my silver bumper. Anyone have any tips on making these less noticeable? I was thinking getting some silver touchup and just running it on the insides of the holes to help but I think you'd still see the holes. Or should I just deal with it and put the plate bracket back on?

Ouch I have never even heard of anyone using all 4 screws ;[

The best way to do it would be to bring it to a body shop I believe there were some other ideas here on the forum, I don't recall them off hand, but try the search function you should find what you're looking for.

Some sanding, plastic repair epoxy, and new paint will take care of that issue. As for costs not sure.

You could put the plate bracket back on and just put some type of "vanity" plate in it.

Yeah, I was thinking of two options...

One, get them professionally filled in and sprayed. I mean, how much can it really cost to fill in four holes and a little paint/clear?

Two, put the bracket back on and get a custom foreign plate for it. I checked licenseplates.tv but those things are 20 inches long. Is that the normal size?? KOREA EURO STYLE LICENSE PLATE -- EMBOSSED WITH YOUR CUSTOM NUMBER

I measured the plate bracked and it's only 12 incehs long meaning those plates would stick out four inches on both sides.

Found this place, plates are same size and actually much cheaper ($31) but don't seem to find a South Korean one. Maybe just go with PA?? Hmm...

Go to Home depot, in the screw isle they have little plastic caps that go over wood screw heads. Use touch-up paint to get them the same color as the car and then crazy glue them on the bumper. It worked on my Magnum.

Hey noodile, where you at in Pittsburgh? I'm about 45 miles south in Uniontown, Fayette Co. I swear the day I got my Forte I saw one like yours here in town. Didn't get a real close look at it but it was blue and modded.

Plastex works pretty well to repair cracks and holes. It's powdered plastic and a plastic solvent. You can make a small batch, fill the holes, and touch it up.
