Gorgeous pic of your car.

I hate those little white lic plate gromets though.

I have them too on my Black 2001 S and wonder if they can be removed colored or dyed to at least somewhat match the paint so they don't stand out so much.

If they are nylon I know you can boil nylon in RIT dye and it takes on the color or perhaps repalcements are available somewhere in Black?

Anyone know what can be done about them if your not wearing the front plate?
