Default $8 bumper hole plug

Annoyed with the drilled bumper, but not enough to justify buying a new bumper. Here's an $8 solution!

Looks decent for a temporary fix but I wouldn't feel right leaving it there covering up 2 holes.

I think this would only work on a black car, any other color and it wouldn't look right.

That looks great ! did you have to fill the holes ? or did you place the vinyl
right over. If you did do you see the indents from the holes?
thanks for info.

That looks real nice. The holes, at least on my Mustang are so small you really don't even see them unless your're looking. But I get it...If they bug you....

I slightly warmed up the holes with a hair dryer and use a round screw driver handle to gently roll the raised edge of the holes to flatten it out. The holes' outline is definitely still there, but not too obvious.
