My intent was to just cover the plate holes. This trick didn't work but it don't look bad. What do you think? Resolution is a little fuzzy.

 

You should of filled the holes first, use the touch up paint to color match it, then put that on the top. Would of came out better.

 

thats too bad. Sorry. still a nice decal

 

You simply cannot hide holes with vinyl as once they heat up they will conform to that shape so you would still be able to tell that there were holes there even if you had a solid piece of vinyl over them.

It was worth a shot, not a bad decal either.

 

How did the holes get there in the first place?
If my dealer makes holes like that, im not picking up the car..

 

Sorry, but it kind of looks like you impailed a HUGE bug and splattered it all over the front of the car...

Just my opinion.

 

Good call Lube, I was wondering how the holes got there too?

 

IMO, it looks like an egg splashed on the bumper (top pic).

 

Yeah, not trying to be rude, but might want to peel that sticker off and see the local body shop to have those holes repaired if they bother you that much.
I know if the dealership that I bought my GT from did that, I would have told them that I would be glad to purchae it, as long as they ordered a new bumper cover for it.
We do not have to have license plates on the frt in GA, and I wouldn't put one on the front of a Mustang anyways...again JMO.

 

In NY we need plates in the front.. But I can secure it somewhere else and not make holes im my FU..ING bumper.

 

That's right Lube, get pissed. I know I would if the dealer decided to get crazy w/ the drill.

 

Mine came with the holes as well. Not too noticable at all.

 

B) Maybe several "bullet hole" decals instead

 

pretty noticable when you don't want them and your washing a vehicle that you paid enough money for to have an unmolested front bumper cover....I've tried looking up the price of the stock GT bumper in my Mitchells Database, but it has been updated yet for the month of Feburaray. You paid for an "undamaged" bumper didn't you. Wouldn't you be pissed off if someone door dinged you in the parking lot? It's the same thing....except appears the dealership did it to you.

 

Indeed I will make my dealer aware not to drill holes...

 

If you are in California, there is a new law that states the dealer has to drill the holes for the front plate unless the buyer specifically requests that holes not be drilled. You will sign a form stating you understand the law and are deliberately disregarding it if you choose not to have the holes drilled.

 

You could always buy an aftermarket front fascia.

 

I heard the fine/ticket was only about $15.00, a fine I would gladly pay everytime some C.H.I.P wanted to pull me over about a $15.00 fine...sounds like something that they would charge you w/ if they already had another reason to pull you over/source of revenue.
I would pay it 10 times a year before I would put a tag on the front of my Mustang, or any other Sports car for that matter.
-Maybe I'm just spoiled by living in GA. heck 1/2 the cars here don't even have license plates....LOL

 

Except for the part where they can require you to have it signed off in person before clearing the cite. Which means you have to take it to a Highway Patrol office and pull up a seat until someone is avaialable to step outside and have a look to see if you actually complied.

Me thinks doing that 10 times a year would get old quick.

Personally, if it were me I'd just srop by the local Home Depot and pick up some of those plastic buttons that are made to snap into and cover up holes. I'd buy a half dozen and have them color matched to the car. I doubt they'd look any worse than the other 20 or so cars that are out there with similar. Especially considering a couple months from now your newest fixation will likely be the paint chips from all the rocks kicked up on the interstate.

 

It's funny because when I was a kid, I lowered my pickup way below code and tinted my side widows. I would get a ticket. I had to raise the truck, remove the film, go to the CHP office and wait for a CHP officer to sign the back of my citation. Was worth the effort of re-doing it all when I was 16, not now!

Thought: How about super magnets to get your front plate signed off at the CHP office. Before I get a ton of replies about how the front bumper is not metal, use super magnets behind the plastic bumper to hold the license in place at the CHP ofice. Glue screw heads to the license plate holes for asthetics....hahah dam thats funny!
