Replacing front bumper center section

[Quick]

Unfortunately the previous owner of my R1S installed a front license plate bracket which I have removed. This left two holes in the black matte plastic in the front bumper. Anyone know if this is easy to replace? Anybody have a part number by chance?

Are they pretty much centered holes? Might be easier to plug with some black carriage bolts.

Personally I'd probably just push a couple push-in retainers in there and call it a day. But this is specifically why I told my SC to not drill the holes prior to pickup. I'll use a Snap-Plate or anything else. Don't want holes drilled in my brand new vehicle, LOL. ?

You may have to drill a slightly larger/cleaner hole, then plug with these:

Since you removed it yourself...do you happen to know the size of the screws that were used?

Unfortunately they drill a hole and then rivet it to the front plastic.

Probably not hard to replace but good luck sourcing a replacement part. I would just plug it as others have suggested.

Reach out to service. They should be able to tell you.

Yep, that’s what they do. Dumb. Did you have to drill out the rivets?

Yes. I drilled the head off the rivets and pushed them back through.

This is how I fixed mine after removal

I just matched up to a R1S and it already has the front license plate holder mounted on the bumper. The guide told me that they will replace the center cover. Anyone else done that?

Matte black center section? Get some matte black vinyl wrap material, cut a circle and just sticky over it. Should be mostly unnoticeable and since its vinyl wont be a raised edge.

Back in the day when I had a Mitsubishi Evo with the large rear wing. I unbolted that and just cut some closely color matched vinyl material to fill in the holes. 99% of the time I never noticed them there.

You can't get the center section only, it'll be the whole front fascia. Should run somewhere around $1k for it. I suggest finding a rivian certified collision center and ordering it from them.
