I've checked out the bumperplug.com site and there is no information on installation procedure. For those of you that have installed them, how do these plugs get installed? Do you need any special tooling?

Also, any words of wisdom on the procedure to remove the front license plate holder (i.e. to prevent damaging the bumper/paint)?

Thanks.

Just remove the license plate bracket and push in the plug, if the hole is too small, take a screwdriver and make the hole a little bigger, I know it sounds primative, but it works flawlessly. Taking off the plate holder is just a matter of turning a few screws. I takes about 10 mins from start to finish. I did this on my friends new 325. Good Luck
