Hello All,

I just purchased a 2016 Platinum Expedition and the previous owner put on a front plate.
The mount for it has been removed so now these unattractive holes in my front bumper. The
part with the holes looks replaceable but I can't find a part number for it. If I can't replace just that part then I will probably put a plate mount back on with a decorative plate on it. I included a pictures so you can see what I'm talking about.

Thanks for any info!

Lowes has an area where they have cabinets with this type of plugs. I got some for my F-150 to repair a hole in the front bumper trim.....maybe go there.

Looks silver. I would get some gray or silver caulk or rtv and put in hole then smooth with finger. You will hardy be able to notice them then.

"Truck Chrome" shops on the Interstates sell a bunch of chrome buttons and screw caps to fill holes like these. Or put chrome screws in them with nuts on the back. You can also look up your local Harley dealer; they have lots of chrome stuff. Or if you never want it to rust, look at a boat supply place like West Marine. Learned about these from buying SSV's with the dashboards drilled up like Swiss cheese.

Or, as you say, just get a new plate holder from Ford and a MAGA plate for the front.
