I agree 100%, I prefer covers over the cupholders. I too hate having the cupholders open.

So where does the front license plate get mounted? Is that really the official grille?
Look at these photos from Motor Trend. It looks like a 2 piece grill on the cars they tested.

The same applies to the non F-Sport bumper....
Which means a plate bracket will mount in the center of the bumper under the "L"..
Below are samples showing where the plate bracket will go..

so that means license plates still get drilled into the bumper behind the mesh so it will just be a floating plate...Im going to jump out on a limb and say most people will rather get the fix it ticket

I'd actually say most people don't even give the front plate a second thought...

otherwise it is just another thing to do to open cup holder to put your stuff in there, which is annoying. i like to simply jump into my car and start driving, less work, the better.

important part to note is that 2IS's 2nd cup holder was completely useless under the armrest... so if you wanted to use two, you had to pull armrest back and so you couldnt put your arm there at all, plus it stabs back passangers into knees... with new design you get extra cupholder that is usable.

sure... depends on what car it is and how it is designed... these cup holders are nicely integrated into the armrest though, they are not exposed and looking like sore thumb... there is nice metal ring around them and soft plastics.
