(its actually her prius) |

You can also consider using black screw on rubber spool like bumpers from NoBump.com (order from their vendor girlslovewheels.com because it's cheaper), or make your own by using rubber chair leg tips. These may not be to her aesthetic satisfaction, but they do help to protect your front bumper's paint during parking. |

You can't "bondo" plastic. Not and have it last. Plugs are the easiest. You could also get yourself a "statement" plate and put it on there. Car personalization. Note that the original bumper cover had two little indents where the dealer drilled the holes for the front plate. So completely replacing the bumper cover would still leave you with those. |

But subsequently found white generic plugs that he thinks works better. He bought a bag of 100 for $8, and if you PM him he might send you a couple. Check out his thread of the subject: White Bumper Plugs |
