Default Conflabbit Bumper Plugs

So i picked mine up from the dealer today and thought they would just pop right into the holes correct?

NOPE! try again!
Pushed them in and one of the two holes goes in and the other side gets pushed away from the bumper. Now it needs to all come apart just to plug in these $10 pieces of painted plastic.

Argggggg

the best thing to do which i did was take the bumper off and glue those metal license plate holders on. theres 2 lil plastic nubs that hold them on and after awhile they just snap. i'll be getting my new bumper and bought new metal license holders and we'll see if the body shop will install them correctly.

you can get them off without taking the bumper off...just use a flathead screwdriver with a rag over it so you dont scratch the bumper.

some of you have it others dont. i went to push them in and it pushed the holes back into the bumper instead of going into the slots.

yes i probably will just glue them and deal with it another time.

yeah your talking about the metal that the license plate screws into. i wouldn't super glue the plugs to the bumper. just in case a cop wants you to put it on.
