Looking for a little help here, I thought I saw a post that had a picture of a plug fron the front bumber if you were to take off the plate bracket. Can someone direct me to that post.

Thank you

John,
I bought the plugs that I used at Home Depot. They are 1/4" plastic snap-in plugs that can be painted to match your car. Check your HD in the hardware aisle, they are located in a group of drawers of specialty hardware. Let me know if you can't find them, not all the HDs have them. I have an extra set I'd be happy to send you.

Did the paint come in a spray can or bottle? Did you get it from the dealer?

HKS,
The paint is in a small bottle with the built in brush. Last time I checked with the dealer, they were not making touch up for our cars in a spray can.

Go to www.bumperplugs.com
They are mostly for Porsche, but will probably custom color a set for you.

I highly recommend them!

Went to my local Lowe's today, got the 1/4" plactic plugs, 2 per bag $.78 each bag. Had to cut the rivits off, pushed the plugs in, done.
Very easy.
I did this on my new cadillac CTS. For the T-Bird I told them not to put the bracket on. Thanks again for all your help. Now both cars look great.
