DIY Front Liscense Plate Removal

So yesterday I was bored before my class and I decided to try something, and it turned out ok.....I removed the Front lisencse plate and the plastic holder for it from my 2005 Lx coupe....and I am somewhat pleased with the results......I ended up only having to remove one screw from the bumper, because thats all that was holding the plate holder in place.....and the two bolts that hold the plate holder were under the front bumper, so they were out of view......here are some pics...I know I need to buff out the paint and redo it...but heres what it looks like now...let me know what you think

Clean. I hate the plate molding on the 01-03. Looks so friggin' cheezy if you don't have a plate. But body kits are even cheezier so I guess I must live with it.
