With 306 ponies it's hard to drive slow.

That's what they did to my last car, I went back and raise hell tell them to fix the holes. Should not take long for them to fix. They had my vehicle for 3hrs and I was happy. I almost demand new bumper.

I made sure to tell the dealership to NOT drill holes for the bracket. My dealership tends to not do it until they ask the customer, which is the way it should be. They just made me sign a waiver that says I won't make them pay tickets for not having a front plate.

Lucky you the color combo I wanted they didn't have it so they had to bring it from a different dealer. And the different dealer already drilled holes in it so I'm like eff it I'll plug the holes and live with it. Car is a beauty though.

Every dealer I went to here had their cars with a front plate as soon as they get off the ship! They're still covered in white plastic when it arrived at the dealer but the damn front plate is already installed!

Wow. I've been lucky twice. Both, 2013 and 2015, were dealer trades and no holes. I think your dealer drills holes immediately when they get the cars on the lot. I think 2013 was from Keyes and 2015 was from Cerritos, and both deals done in Riverside.

U know what.. since u mentioned Keyes, that is actually the only dealer that didn't install front plates on their new cars. I did go there to check out the new IS and GS and none of them had the front plate. Other ones I went to, Santa Monica, Woodland Hills, Thousand Oaks, Oxnard all have them already installed. Too bad Keyes couldn't give me a good deal.

Just read your post we are on same page. I went to Santa Monica all of their cars had plates already installed. Only keyes didn't have plates but they didn't want to give me the quote I received @ Longo lexus. Just went to Longo and got the car will just put some plug the holes with the bumper plugs i ordered from bumperplugs.com (painted nebula grey pearl)

My nebula grey pearl bumper plugs came in today. Will be putting them in today. If anyone wants pictures let me know. I got it from (bumperplugs.com) I paid around $30-40 but i think it was well worth it because the color match is perfect. Im sure you can buy plain black plug and a touch up paint and do it yourself but I don't got time. Time is money for me.
