how disappointing there is a hole in mine.. who would ever think of hey lets put a hole in the front bump!!

So I finally got nailed for not having a front plate (After 3 years! go me!!), and I have to put the front plate back on, i've found my plate and the bracket, but I'm missing the bolts that go through the bracket into the little holes in the lower grill part. I was going to pick some up at home hardware, but I'm not sure what size they are :S:S I guess I could zap strap it if worse comes to worse.

I believe they are 5mm bolts and may be found at Lowes or maybe an auto parts place.

im sad. My sedan has the hole drilled in the bumper.

The plug looks lame and I'd honestly rather just NOT have a front plate. I dunno what to do now.

i have a sedan and i tried flipping it like the DIY but the frame's holes doesn't reach the bumper holes. should i keep cutting or is this a problem for the sedans? i'm thinking about just going to homedepot and purchasing a longer bolt.

any problems like this for the sedan?

How do you guys remove the screws behind the actual plate, the ones that hold the bracket?

072civic · 08-24-2009, 01:52 AM

Was there no whole in your bumper?

072civic · 08-24-2009, 01:58 AM
