Couple questions

I want to know what would be the best way to fill the holes in the front bumper left by the license plate mounting braket. This was on the car when I bought it but I think it looks like crap so I removed it last night. Looks cleaner but now I have two screw holes in my bumper. I'd like to fill them but I would need a flexible filler and then touch it up with some touch up paint. Anyone else done this?

Also, what comes with the Titanium Edition package? The only option I got on my '03 Maxima was the moonroof.

You must live in one of the few states that don't require a front license plate...

Actually, I live in a state that does require a front plate. However, I see so many cars driving around without a front plate it's not even funny-probably like 25-30% here in Southern California.

I drove a previous car without a front plate for about a year before I finally got pulled over and it was a bright red Mustang GT with chrome wheels. They probably pulled me over more for the smoked headlight covers though.

It's a fix-it ticket anyway. Just pop the plate on and drive down to the CHP and they sign it off.

I do! Luckily in PA a front license plate is not required. Thank god my max didn't come with one, I just have 2 little bumps where the holes would be drilled for it. If anyone comes up with a good idea for this I might want to fill those little bumps in though.

Here is what to do to fix the holes in your front bumper.

Go to a dealer who sells the 3M clear bra and ask for a small piece of scrape. Cut out a couple of 1/2 inch circles and paint them to match your car. then glue them on with just a bit of contact cement. Easy to remove if you need to remount the plate holder.

Or, get the front end 3M clear bra treatment and paint over where the holes are below the clear film.

Bringing this back from the dead to ask another question.

Was it possible to get a 03 non TE with TE options? What I mean is, was it possible to for example have a non-TE with the Bose system or leather seats?
