We are moving at the end of the month to West Virginia, where front license plates are not required. However, coming from Virginia, both my boyfriend's car and my car have holes physically drilled into the front to support the front license plates. My boyfriend doesn't really care (2004 Honda CR-V), but I really do. It would really bother me to have holes in the front with no license plate there, and I think it would be a bit odd to have a front license plate in a state where they are very uncommon.
Other than paying extra to have a second (front) license plate, what could I do to avoid the ugly gaping holes that will result if I go without a front plate in WV? Any way I could possibly plug them? Maybe some plug and then cover with Dr. Colorchip paint? Or even buy an OEM touch-up bottle of paint from Mazda and just paint whatever I use to fill the holes?
Does anyone have experience with this? I've read some threads on the opposite problem, where someone bought from a dealer where front license plates are not required and they had to drill the holes themselves.
