My S2000 is a 2000 model. I want to cover up the two sets of "nostrals" in the front bumper that are the license plate mounting holes. I've purchased the little oblong covers AND the metal backing plates from Honda. My husband and I tried to install them, it is a simple pressure fit. BUT, there is no way to get your hand behind the bumper. There seems to be a series of covers and insulation directly behind the bumper that will not give way enough to feed the metal backer plate behind. I hate to start taking things apart and the thought of spending lots of dollars at a body shop is not appealing. Anyone have suggestions or experience with this little problem? P.S. I have seriously thought about getting out the trusty old glue gun!!! Thanks - The Butterpatlady
