Congrats on the new ride. It's a hell of a vehicle, and I'm thinking that your going to absolutely love it.
I feel your pain on the front plate damage. Mine came with that too. It's so ridiculous that in 2015, we still haven't figured out a way to not ruin a new bumper while mounting a license plate.
Look at it this way though....you put the front plate on, and you lessen the chances of a cop on a power trip pulling you over and ruining your driving enjoyment.

Congrats! Welcome to the 4GS forum. You have great taste my fellow nebula/cabernet twin 
It hurts me to see those holes in the front bumper. I've been lucky twice in getting a GS F-sport without holes. All dealers should really ask their customers before drilling. Since you already took off the mount, I assume you don't want to put a front plate on. Consider getting color matched bumper plugs mentioned in other threads. I'm considering a tow hook plate mount for that day I get a ticket and getting cops to sign off, then taking it off again.

Crazy, my 1990 Z had front plate, but they used a bracket no holes in bumper...

I've never had to do front plates here in New Mexico and I do completely understand and prefer not wanting holes or a front plate but if it's required I don't really see the big deal.

Congrats on the car man you will def enjoy it, the bumper plugs I will say don't really work and to me are not worth the price. You could literally make them yourself, I ordered them and wasn't to happy with them as I could have bought them at home depot.
