How the heck do you fill the holes? And I dunno if there is a way for me to mount this because of my body kit.

Mine was a little more. I bought it where I bought it because of customer service.

You can either get some plug rivets and pop them in. And also color match spray them.

Or

What I did was get some magnum steele and filled the holes. Then let it dry and use GM's touch up paint that I bough from the dealer.

I have this plate and it actually saved me from getting a ticket.

Cop: Where's your front plate?
Me: It's up front underneath
Cop: (looks again) I don't see anything
Then I get out of the car and flip it up
Cop: Get off my mountain

I've considered getting one of these for a while... buuuut, I lost my front plate, so I don't think it really matters any more. Haha. Not to mention the cops and Highway Patrolmen around my town stopped pulling me over for it.

does t have to be off to the side like that or can it be centered..?

It can be anywhere you want it to be. I had to put mine on the side because at the time I didn't have the lower grille. So if I would've put it in the middle, you could see the bar.

Yeah I was wondering how much of it you see with it hidden

You could hide it better than I can. I had to put it like this because of the wind guard (something like that) was blocking it to go any further in.
