    If they used the backing plate, it doesn't look too bad, kinda integrated. Down the road if you take it off I believe there's little push-in caps, nearly flush appearance and body coloured.

    My 2 cents, I would just go with the flow. It will be easier if you want to grill block.

    Definitely drilled holes in the bumper cover to mount. Check out bumperplugs.com, others have found suitable plugs at hardware stores and painted them to match.
