Default Just picked up the Z!! One complaint!!

Since I bought the car in New Jersey(Im from philly and the plate is not required here) its required to have a front linc. plate.. Yup they drilled into the bumper to mount it...

What can I do ?? Should I take it to the body shop to have them patch the holes up??? Help

Check some other posts here. You can try to fill with epoxy, smooth, and touch up. If that doesn't work (but it should - others have done it), you can get some plugs other cars use for just that purpose.

P.S. - You're talking about real holes, not just dimples. Right?

I told my dealer not to drill the holes, thinking I would find some clever way to mount the front plate without drilling. The dealer warned me that there would be dimples anyway, but I was gonna wait and see.
When the car came in and I was able to see the dimples, I was like "go ahead and drill." What's the point of trying to mount the plate some other way when there's some ugly dimples in your bumper anyway?

I got it from Cherry Hill Nissan. They F@#$ up my order for a enth. version so they gave me the MSRP Enth. price for a Touring Model. I guess I got lucky
