I ordered mine here.

BumperPlugs for Dodge RAM

Bumper plugs for Dodge RAM, custom paint-matched to your front license plate holes using 19 stage factory chemistry.

Kinda silly how expensive they are, but I got them anyway. Happy with them so far.

I actually saw those but wasn’t sure if they would work on the round holes from 2019+. I’ll give them a call. Big buck for two plastic plugs. For sure.

They called me to confirm something with me about my order, but I don't remember what it was... Anyway, whatever I ordered was correct.

$37.00 ... holy mackerel

You aren't paying for the plug, you're paying for the mold tool and the color matching. Low volume plastic manufacturing is a lot more expensive than most people would think and with the variety of plugs these guys offer, it's a stretch to make the investment back.

what are you trying to fix?

But $37.00??? LOL

That is $18.50 each, at 50% margin its $9.25 cost.

The cost to go from a drawing to a production mold might be $40k. How many will they ever sell? 10k pieces is $4.00 of cost for the mold alone.

And then they are painting them with the same process as plastic body parts. Between paint, machine setup and cleaning, etc. It adds up.

Now pay for the website and production facility and everyone's salaries.

Not saying they are worth $37, just that they aren't getting rich off of them. Sometimes things just cost more than they are worth.

Duct tape is pretty close color match to granite crystal. Just sayin.

 

[Jeeptree2112]

So, to sum up the thread thus far...Buy these very pricey color matched plugs, buy kinda color match duct tape, or leave them be. So many choices here, Hmmmmmmm, haha

Agree, that is why I have holes in my bumper...LOL

If you click to their main page, I saw them highlighting items for Porsches so we ain't the target demographic. Maybe the 1500 Limited pavement queen crowd.

Ace hardware sells round and square plastic hole plugs, plus spray paint!

There are better and more creative solutions. I have holes in my REAR bumper because Missouri doesn't issue rear plates for higher GCVW registrations. I just put a black license plate that says Ram back there for $15.

Thank you sir, I sell them for $15 for a set of 2, or $25 for a set of 4! Just a little cheaper than that other website!

All plugs are hit with primer, 3 coats of color matched mopar paint and the 2 coats of clear coat!
