Holes in Front Bumper? Question about License Plate Holder

Guard Dad · 01-14-2012, 11:28 PM

The plate mounts to a bracket and the bracket mounts to the flat black portion of the grill. These grill holes can be filled with plugs and it will look ok. The problem is that the upper screws on the plate itself are long enough (in many cases) that they end up scraping the paint on the nose of the car-NOT GOOD. You need to communicate with them, in writing, that you will not accept delivery of the car if the bracket is or has been installed. Make it clear that no holes will be tolerated. If they insist that they must install a holder then inform them that you will bring a holder (Stillen or similar) you or they can install at the time of delivery.

Accept no compromise.

What other option do I have besides just putting a plug in it? And do they sell plugs at common stores? I tried autozone and they didn't have any.
