    Sport bumper holes, plug or not ?

    Bumper experts,

    I'm getting this sport bumper painted to match the car. I've seen repros and most are clean and completely free of holes. This one is the real deal - metal, and as you can see (and probably know) it's got holes (blue) which I assumed were for the overriders but I really don't know. I want to go bumperette-free for looks - I've seen some original cars with a plug in there so I thought this was a stock hole... My questions are 1) is that plug findable / is that hole legit ? 2) what's the small hole below (green, one on each side) ? not stock? Should I get that filled ? 3) if I start filling, I might get the center holes plugged too (I assume for license plate) and pay the fix-it ticket, so in for a penny, would you fill everything ( blue + green + center) or is it bad form to plug a real sports bumper's overrider holes (if that is what they are, the blue ones) ? I like to keep things stock, it's not much more $ to fill it all but I'd rather keep it as it should be...

    While we're at it, I've never transplanted a bumper before, is there stuff I should be buying to swap ? I have a new rubber trim and I plan on reusing the metal base from this one (I'd like to reuse the rubber trim but I imagine it's dented by the bumperettes). Thanks !!
