Plugged the front bumber license plate holes

[Burzum]

I have the chrome bumper and the 4 holes for the front license plate were bugging me.

Dang, $12 bucks! Lowes has them for about a $1.

So spending 50K on a truck isn't stupid but spending 12 bucks is??? How about a positive response like: Hey man, that looks great!!

Hey man, looks great!


I need some in black lol

Here in Rhode Island, front plates are required. Otherwise, four holes in the bumper would bug me too!

Are they a tight fit ?t

Update, Just like another member suggested, I went to Lowe’s and the 3/8 in Hillman Group Chrome plugs at $1.04 each are a perfect fit on my 2019 Bighorn

Looks great! I’ll be doing that to mine when I can remove my front plate in June next year.

I have been meaning to plug mine but need them to match my painted bumper.

I assume you are directing that at me. Never said it was stupid. My positive response was Lowes is selling them for a buck and change...

And you are correct. No Lowes close by but Home Depot has a 5 pk for 3.97. Off to Home depot.

No, you didn't say it was stupid....my bad....

Hey, that looks great!

I will be doing that next summer now that Ohio will be finally getting rid of the silly front license plate requirement at that time.

 

[Burzum]

Are they a tight fit ?

Yes. They have a series of prongs on the back end that snap right in. Once in they don't move around.

Scuff em up with a scotchbrite, use spray primer and touchup paint. If you really want to get fancy, use a bonding primer and touchup paint.

Someone on here was selling, or knew of, color matched plugs for sale . Try a search. Remember it as I was wanting chrome and they were painted.

 

[tul9033]

Picked up 4 of the Hillman chrome plugs from Lowes for $1.04 ea. The size that fit my Limited was 3/8".

You must also live in Ohio. I cant wait until I can pull my plate off of my truck and the wife's Mustang!

Did anyone ever find any black plugs at Lowe’s or anywhere else?
