I purchased my plugs from them and they match perfect. One thing to note, they are larger than the current holes in your bumper so you will need to drill the holes a little larger.

OP, I really like that front lip. Can you give me some details about?

I ordered a set for my car when I removed the license plate bracket (front license plates aren't required in FL). I was hesitatnt to spend $25 on 2 plastic plugs, but I'm glad I did. The paint matches perfectly and it looks so much better without the frame. I'd recommend it to anyone looking to get rid of the frame itself. Glockz is right though; you do have to widen the current holes in the bumper a bit to make them work. Good luck.

I went down to Lowe's and bought some plugs, and then just used some matching spray paint. WAY cheaper than bumper plugs, same result.
