Default Liscense plate holder holes

I keep seeing people that have pulled their plate and holder in the front, but the holes are still there and I think it looks unfinished. You can get a couple of stainless carriage bolts to fit in the holes and washers/nuts behind the bumber and polish the heads on the bolts. They will blend right in and will give the front of the truck a smoother look than the holes/white tabs.



Just a thought.

I think they were 3/8" x 2".

Great idea. I was wondering about that myself the other day, as TX just passed a law that says front license plates aren't required. About time.

Pretty sure that's a rumor about the law. You may want to verify with the DPS first. I'm leaving mine off anyway because it's not worth breaking the lines of the front of the truck to me, I'd rather take a chance on the ticket.

That looks great, nice and clean. Too bad front plates are required here in Jersey or I'd be borrowing that trick...but if we ever move out of state...
