I like the way the front grille area looks with the bumperette that holds the license plate mount removed. Anyone have any ideas what to fill the notches with that remain in the front bumpers?
In before "put that damn bumperette back on!".

Maybe this too basic. Take them to a reputable chrome shop and tell them to fill them (weld in piece) and replate them. At least $300 each would be my guess. Dennis

You know, I went out to the garage before dinner and took a really good look at those notches in the bumpers again, and they really don't stand out like they did earlier. Hardly noticed them at all!
Fixed!

I see it more like the adaptability of the human species. Adapt or perish!

I've not run my front plate bracket for almost two years. Never noticed or even thought about filling those notches. NOW see what you've done!

It's OK Gary, I took it all back, I hardly notice the notches either.
Think it looks great!
Really!
