Ignorance.
 

well i just wanted to post a thread about how nissan ruined my Z.
the literally put the liscence plate screws threw my bumper....
thanks alot -_- (yes im picky)

They do that for every state that requires 2 plates. Unless of course you tell them no. Happen to me.

If the dealer did that I would walk my a** in there and demand a new bumper! And for the trouble I would demand a free clear bra... Just sayin

sucks for you guys, haven't seen that here in cali.......YET.

Before I buy any car, I tell the dealer while inspecting it first or during ordering is not to tamper with the front bumper even if it involves the plates. When a dealer complains, I tell them I have a mounting kit.

My dealer did the same thing and it made baby Jesus cry. :rolleyes:

Dealer did the same thing to my car !!!!

After being told many times not to, the dealer I bought mine from drilled the holes and ruined the clear bra under the corners of the front plate. They sent me home with a "we owe" ticket to get it repaired. Since I was coming in from out of state and was at the dealership already, I dealt with it. Once I got home, the dealer decided not to honor the "we owe". Also, the lifetime warranty on the window tint the salesman was so proud of expired at the state border, as I found out when the corner of the passenger window started peeling up. Jackasses.

Crap, you are lucky. My dealer put the same holes as you, but used too long of bolts on the top of the plate and they went back into the painted part of the bumper. So I have holes in the plastic part and gouges in the paint. Of course I drove 250 miles to pick the car up and didn't realize the paint scratches till I got home.

Mine would be gouged, but the clear bra took that bullet. Honestly, the holes and ruined clear bra didn't bother me as much as changing their mind about paying for it did. If I had bought a round trip ticket I'd have probably told them where to stick the car and caught a cab back to the airport.

Just get a full aftermarket front bumper (like Amuse) and problem solved.

yep, i noticed this too when i put my front plate bracket on that the screws that comes with the package is too long.

that said, it's nissan's fault, not your dealer. ofcourse your dealer could put more care into it, but you're talking about porters installing those things at low wage using cordless drivers doing the work as fast as they can to keep their managers and customers happy.

nissan should've included a shorter screw.

It's Nissan's fault the screws are too long. It's the dealer's fault when they're told not to drill the bumper and they do it anyway.

i hated the front plate. So I just took it off and I don't really notice the holes in the bumpers.

Ohio is talking about doing away with the front plate, and I think it is going to happen. I'll be glad to get rid of the front plate because they look like doodoo :gtfo2:.
