The holes in my front bumper for the plate screws don't have threads in them, they're just open. My car came with the plugs that were left in the glovebox, but they obviously won't fit without the threads there.

Is there any other effective way to set the plugs in the holes without having the threads?

There are lil clips that snap in the back of the bumper that have the threads. heres a link to the part.

Yeah, you have to take the front bumper off to attach them but its not that bad of a job.

Bumper removal? Any DIY write ups on the job? Oh boy.

its not hard to remove your bumper... Few bolts (maybe 10?) in the bottom, 1 screw in each fender, the 4 screws that hold the rubber guard or whatever that protects it from the hood slamming on it, and 1 bolt near each headlight. It took me about 15 minutes to take it off. Install is reverse. Do it in that order and it should be fairly easy.

You will need a 10mm ratchet and a phillips screw driver. Also place a big sheet or something under the bumper to prevent it from scratching on the floor.

when you put those clips in glue them in. they have a tendency to fall into the bumper when you put the plate on or the bumper plugs.
