plugging the hole looks more odd than just leaving it.


And offsetting the front plate, if you run one. Looks especially weird.

I think the holes look like shit but to each his own.
I've been playing around with turbocharged vehicles since 1988 and nobody can ever convince me that blocking an intercooler with a license plate is a good idea.
I don't mind the side mount plate the gen 1 Ecoboosts came from the factory like that from 2011-2014 and I owned a 2011 and a 2014.

Agreed.

Don't run a front plate is the solution.

Front plates are required here and it's not worth the hassle to not run one. I live in a town with a population of 3K and the neighboring towns vary from 2K-5K so the police get bored and focus on petty shit.

Front plates are required here too. And I have not run one for a decade.
no issues with cops.

Might be amazed that no one gives a damn. no matter what the population is.

one way to find out

I don't think the plugs are very noticeable at all - from close up you see them (if you are looking) but a few feet away and they disappear.

My little bumps are barely noticeable, unless your closer than 5 feet away.
