Neuspeed made a little CNC plaque back in the late 90's, but it was rather tacky IMO. I'm pretty sure it's out of production as well.

Since the threaded brackets are made from good quality steel, there's no harm in leaving them exposed. If you're dying to cover them, you could just buy a set of pan-head stainless steel bolts and then paint the heads body color.

Technically, CA law requires you to run your front plate.
I'm not preaching, I'm just letting you know. Make your own call.

I'm not picking on you. I don't intend to single you out. But please throw some punctuation into that jumble. It's a pain in the ass to read. h:

Thanks.

Dealer has little plastic plug that fits the holes, they were probablyin the glove box when car was first delivered. You will be even more of a target without front plate though

i dont have my front plate on, and acura dealerships sell silver plaques that can be put on the front of the car that are just about the same height as the edge of the bumper.. i was thinking of buying one because of some idiot's parking mistake that was left int he middle of the bumper

I went to Ace Hardware and bought x4 new shiny silver screws. it doesnt look too bad. on tuesday when the dealership is open again im gonna try to stop by and get some touch up paint because the car has some "paint cracks there... nothing it cant fix though. and a lot of cars in my area dont have front license plates and a lot of them dont even have front holsters.

i wanna took into the insert things, bc ive seen some integra with them

Well I here's some pics. I used my phone so sorry if it's a little blurry.

I gotta work on smoothening the touch up paint and fixing the front. A Few blemishes are on it you cant see in these pics
