Rob0381 Posted May 12, 2019 Report Share Posted May 12, 2019 Going to remove the front plate bracket. Unfortunately, I have 4 holes in the bumper behind the bracket. Two to mount the bracket, and two where the previous owner used a screw that was too long, went through the bracket and into the bumper. I was going to use black, button head Phillips screws until I saw the 4 holes. So now I’m looking at adding these. Anyone used these before that can provide some feedback? https://www.bumperplugs.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=1_11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWRBB Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 I just bought some plastic plugs from Home Depot and stuck them in the two holes that were on ours. I was going to paint them to match, but it looks fine as is. Black plugs on red. With 4 holes, I'd probably paint them. $28 for some painted plastic plugs seems more than pricey to me.

darkstarmoto Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 I used the Bumperplugs, kinda overpriced but if you care about color matching probably won't find it cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacobZ06 Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 (edited) Did my own with plastic plugs from a local supplier and custom mixed spray paint using the OEM paint code. Also did plate frames front & rear. Paint from local supplier was about $30 and included clear in the mix. Front plate frame is mounted using a recycled Sto 'n Sho bracket, available online.

mvan231 Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 When I drilled out the rivets that were holding on the bracket on mine, I just left the two holes as is. My Edge is black so it looks fine with two small holes there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkw Posted September 2, 2020 Report Share Posted September 2, 2020 Does anyone have a picture of a 2019/2020 edge with the license plate bracket removed? For some weird reason I just don't like the looks of the bracket, and my state doesn't require it. I'm looking at buying a used one, they all seem to have the bracket. I know it will need the rivets drilled out to remove, I can't tell if there are holes in just the painted part of the bumper or the black plastic portion as well?

Snoking Posted September 2, 2020 Report Share Posted September 2, 2020 (edited) Frame must be a dealer installed item. Attached is pictures of ours. From there add and after delivery. But now looking at the photos, the first picture has roof rails and the vehicle we bought does not!

Brat Boy Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 Will have to succumb to WI DOT regs and mount front plate on 2018 Edge Sport, strongly considering Sly Brackets no-drill mounting scheme. My concern; will reducing airflow through mesh area create problems? If so, I'm forced to further desecrate one of the best SUVs in my fuddled memory. Would appreciate any insight on this. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
