Default Front plate

Have a quick question , when I bought the car they put on my front license plate on the front grill , I just ordered the license plate relocation for the tow hook , but did they drill a hole in the grill before putting my front plate on the grill or are there tabs that I can snap back on there ? Hope so 😁

I asked my dealer that exact question today actually. I told him I wanted to take my front plate off and asked if they had plugs or fillers for the holes in the bumper. He wasn't sure but he said they would find something that works. I saw another thread on Clublexus where someone had a pic of there bumper with the plugs in the holes so they are definitely out there. I believe they are just simple caps.

I saw these on a bumper. I couldn't really tell they were on there until I got up close.

Thats the pic I was referring to. You cant even tell the plugs are there unless your REALLY looking for them.

Now your making me want to go order it haha. Why cant front plates be left off for certain cars. Its obvious that the 3IS was made for only a rear plate. They should just understand that and let it slide. That would be a perfect world

I know!! I said the hell with it today and then my brother told me not to do it. One of his best friends who I know had a corvette ZO6 and had no front plate and got pulled over multiple times for it. Also, the tickets we not just fines, they were "fix it" tickets in which he had to go to court with pictures of his car fixed with a front plate on

I sure as hell dont want to spend my time and money one that when I could just offset it or leave it on.
