UU R X that's a pretty awesome facelift. I especially like the painted light bezels.

I went by an Acura dealership and picked up some Gen III Integra (the one's with 4 round headlights) front hole fillers. Free and, because white is a common color, a perfect match.

Seems like a no-brainer for the actual effort and results.

i had to check your location. here in california, you're just giving the cops a reason to pull you over if you remove the front license plate.

I filled my wholes with white epoxy. Been like that for 50k miles or so.

I've gotten two tickets for speeding, but they didn't say anything about missing the front plate.

For the record, you need 3/8" plugs with a rounded top; beveled edge plugs also look nice. They are often found in the electrical department of a hardware store (used to plug the 3/8" pipe used for electrical ducting, for example).

I had some leftover PSM paint and clearcoat from paintscratch.com and painted them both. I'll try and post a pic later today.
