AK370Z, do you ever sleep? I heard a rumor that you are really just a robot that replies to every post no matter what time of day it is.

I think Matt has the same problem.

I have only slept 5 hours in last 30 hours. My eyes are closing now but I still have some stuff to do here on the forums. It's 5:41 AM here BTW

If you look at the owners manual it shows that the holes are drilled through the black part of the bumper. Usually the dealers are the ones that installs the license plate when the car arrives at the dealership. I bought the z bracket for my 350z. But if you're clever you shouldn't have to buy the z bracket and just screw your plates directly into the black part.

Right. That's what I figured when seeing that black strip that fattens up right in the center.

Most states require front license plates. If you don't want holes in your front bumper make sure to tell the dealer repeatedly not to drill it.

It does look better without a front license plate but I think it loses its novelty after getting the first few tickets.

In Texas you are required to install the front license plate. In 04 I watched the dealer drill holes to install the front plate on my 350z. It was a painful experience. I'm not going to install the front plate on my new 370z. We'll see what happens.

There is a second page to your attachment where it mention to drill about 2" holes to the bumper itself, which some of the stupid stealership will do...

can't you just mount it to the black grill? or would that get in the way of the radiator?
