I can't seem to find a picture of what I did, but I removed the warts or bumperettes and replaced them with a blank plate. I then mounted the license plate over top of it. I used a perforated metal that looked pretty darn good IMHO. I know another member here used a black plexiglass blank (their picture attached). I had a few of these blanks made up and bought the trim for them, but never did anything with them. If you want one, let me know and I can probably part with one cheap as I now have a Gemballa rear bumper and don't really see myself going back to stock.

If you like the style, the Caractere bumper shown in your photo is a very high quality piece. Be cautious, however, there are a few "knock offs" of their design out there.

No what I've got are the black pelxiglass inserts like in the photo.

For my arctic silver car I had installed the perforated metal blank and painted it silver.

Kirk - PM me with how much you'd like for the blanks. Does the underlying metal structure unbolt from the bumper beam? I have to admit that I haven't done more than a cursory look. Thanks.
