Yes as I said I’m fine if it’s not perfect. Covers/plugs are not a repair.

Exactly what I was thinking as for painting, but do you think the same result could be achieved using some kind of automotive plastic filler? I’ve heard regular old bondo doesn’t work great for plastic, so something like that would be closer to an actual plastic bumper piece.

My goal isn’t to have it factory perfect, although that’d be nice, I’m just trying to get it less noticeable than plastic plugs or 2 holes. Like I said I’m not going to try blending anything. If I just paint the two holes and small area around them and it looks terrible, I’ll just take it in and...

Im going to try them but I'll still probably try repairing it. Like I said if it looks terrible, ill just take it to my body shop and they can fix it properly.

Definitely not under, but would just rather it be a completely smooth (or as smooth as possible) surface.

Thought of this also. Not trying to take my bumper off and at that point I’d just take it to a body shop. I was thinking that this might not be as big of an issue since the holes are threaded, the body filler would have something to grab onto compared to just a straight hole though the plastic.

Probably what I'll end up doing. Sanding them down, repainting, making it as flat as possible. Even if the paint doesn't look absolutely pristine ill at least have a flat area to work with for stripes instead of the protrusions from the holes.

My car is Oxford White. Can't get much worse than two black protruding holes in the middle of the bumper cover. I'll probably try to sand the smallest area possible down, fill, prime, and paint. If it looks worse than those black holes I'll be surprised, and I'll just take it to my body shop and...

I was gonna do stripes, but I still have to sand the spots down? It has raised areas around the holes from the screws. If I’m doing that I would probably just fill and paint.

This would make sense for an older car, my new one is brand new, which makes me think the spot painting and blending won’t be an issue. I was just going to sand the holes down, fill them, sand, prime, and use touch up. Trying to keep the area I touch as small as possible.

Has anyone done this themselves? I just got my car with a plate bracket on it from a front plate required state. I know there are plugs and I bought a set in paint code and will see how they look. Has anyone fixed this properly themselves? What to do about the raised edges around the holes...

My car has 300 miles. It’s just defective?

Just took it out in sport mode for the first time, literally feels like I've been rear ended during those shifts.

Anything on this? I get it too on warm starts.

Also do either of you have a particularly whiny transmission? I know this is just a characteristic of it, all my other 10 speeds do it, but maybe the volume of the whine is an indicator of something?

Thanks again to you both. Mine feels more that there is slack somewhere in the driveline. One thing I noticed is when I turn quickly (dont touch brakes during corner) it’ll downshift. However when I get back on the power after the downshift I get the clunk and small jerk as if something is...

Thanks for the responses Do you think it’s worth having the dealer check everything around my driveshaft? It’s a pretty big clunk whenever I go off and on power again. Or, after a downshift, right when I get back on the throttle it occurs. Probably just natural with the cars, but maybe I’d have...

Also not sure if this is relevant, but the car was transported multiple times. Sent out of Michigan to dealer, brought back on a truck again. Ive seen posts about careless or unskilled drivers bending and messing up drivetrain parts after not being careful putting it in gear and such while...
