Looking at a pre owned air. It has a front license plate bracket. My state does not require a front plate. Curious if removing the front bracket would leave the front bumper with holes or are there clips available to fill the holes?
Has anyone removed a front license plate bracket?

I did. Originally I was planning to fill the holes in the bumper with some kind of flat grommet (there are tons available on Amazon). But after I removed the plate holder, I found the remaining little inserts (hard to describe what they actually are) to be very unobtrusive and decided to just leave them. Fair warning: I am not a fussy person, so I can see how having a couple of little nubs on the front bumper could make someone with OCD insane, so YMMV.

I removed mine and place an adhesive license plate over it. Really happy with it.

Can you provide a pic of this? I bought my car from a two plate state, even though I'm in a rear plate only state, my fix has been to just pay $5 more for a front plate and put it on.
The car is in the garage charging (cramped garage so I can't get a pic). I will def get you one tomorrow.

Thanks format! I have a feeling white might not be as forgiving.
Agreed. The black nubs on the white bumpers might not be so great. But perhaps a little touch up paint would make them disappear. My plan was to drill them out, and then put in some flat plugs that matched the bumper color (tons of options on Amazon). It would certainly be easy to try the touch up paint first and see how it looks before doing anything drastic.
