My car was originally a lease that was taken over from someone else and since it's NJ, the front plate holder was attached.

Yesterday I removed the plate holder to see if I could perhaps relocate it lower into the grill area or remove it and noticed a few things. First, the holder made noticeable impressions into the bumper and also, the bolt holes need plugged if I'm going to move or remove the plate. I'm assuming the original dealer discarded the plugs when the plate holder was put on.

Has anyone ever had to order these? I'm hoping it's not part of the front bumper assembly because that would mean I have to order a new front bumper to get them and then have them painted since the bumper comes unpainted.

Also, other than Rick's plate holder is there another kit out there designed to relocate the front plate?

 

Go to your local dealership and ask for a set, they should give them to you for free.. if not:

Thanks. Maybe I can get them to repaint the front bumper too since it was their stupid plate holder that messed it up.

 

that's where I got mine from. Shipping's a little steep if you ask me though..

 

To help with shipping cost, just get some filters etc at the same time.

 

good call!

 

The plugs may cover all that up - they did with mine, since my S had the plate on the front too. I had to buy the plugs though.
