    Hey guys! Pulled my front plate off the ORP today, and yikes these holes need some love. There's tons of options for plugs, but wondering if anyone can reccomend a specific one that matches the OR silver bumper trim? It's hard to distinguish the correct colors on Amazon.
    TIA!!

    I'm gonna save you a ton of money and time.

    Spend 30 cents on these variable depth fasteners at Ace and be done with it... you could paint them, if you wanted, but I think there's enough black in the other trim that they look okay in their flat black color...

    If you go this route you will have to drill out the holes and trim off the plastic flash buildup.

    I hear you on the holes. Originally a dealer wanted to get me a trade from Ohio and the dealer already punched the holes. I said no thanks I will wait for another.

    I often wonder why some states still require front plates.

    Yep, fasteners and rattle can touch-up paint. Just prep 'em well before ya paint 'em and let them dry before ya push 'em in. Good to go. You'll be the only one who knows they aren't parkin' sensors.

    Another option is I see a lot of people on here replacing their silver for black valences. Why not see if someone is selling the silver bumper balances that they replace in black. No holes that way and looks like new

    I don't run one.

    There's a thread on here about front plates on a Victory bumper where I go on a rant about why it is California cops don't give a shit about front tags. You can search for same iffen you desire...

    Thanks guys!
    I'm in CA too, never had an issue so far with not having one! Fingers crossed that trend maintains.
