1990lumina Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 Alright guys, I don't know what to do here. When I got my car last fall, my province said we only need the rear plate, so I have no front plate. Since my grandma crahsed the Lumina before I got it and the only damage was a crushed license plate holder. So of course I took it off, and put the screws back into the bumper, which looked pretty good at the time. I have to options now: 1) But now I want to either rid myself of these holes by filling them somehow so they won't show and the bumper cover is nice and smooth. 2) Buy a j/y license plate holder, and put on a plate with a red chevy bowtie and a black background. So tell me which option, PLUS, if you know how to fill the holes in, I'll definately go that route Thanks for the help guys! - Jeff L.

Euro Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 I think i'd be easier just to get another bumper with NO holes in it...cause at least on my car, the holes go into the red/black trim on the front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990lumina Posted July 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 Here's where my holes are: I don't now about finding one with no holes...I guarantee all the Luminas in the j/y will have holes in them, and if not, with my luck there will be some other flaw in the cover lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prospeeder Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 yea, my state does require front plate, but the people who put the plate on, put it all retarded, witht he holes crooked, and like covering a good part of the grill, which sucks, my rare TGP front facia is ruined, unless u can use somthing like bondo, or take a chunk of plastic, and glue/melt?? it in, then sand it smooth, ya know, that would mabye work, lol, almost like plastic welding, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 I have those damn holes in the front of my Spyder because the dealership was out of state and had a front plate holder installed on it. I have the filled with "plugs" from a body shop right now, but I have dertermined in order to make it look right I will need a new bumper.

J Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 plastic weld it the holes, and for the monte just get a filler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 Best way would be to plastic weld it. Roughen the hole and knock down any high spots. Then fill with melted polyurethane. Grind it down and cover over with an epoxy filler. http://www.urethanesupply.com/step3a.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 what would work on say a 1996 gtp front bumper? I worked at a injection mold shop that makes bumper covers and i still am not sure what kind of plastic they are made form. (I have to fix jessicas) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 I think all W-body bumpers and cladding are urethane. Look inside and see if you can find any unpainted spots. If there is any yellow at all, it's definitely urethane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 yup its yellow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
