When at the dealership I would request they don't install the front tag bracket. I do still want to have my car legal for MD which means I need a front tag displayed. Does anyone have any alternative mounting methods that don't involve drilling holes in the nice innocent front bumper piece that never did anything to hurt the dealership?

I've seen some great alternative mounting methods for other cars but I haven't seen anything on the Z yet.

 

So far there are three popular methods...

1 & 2) Get a bracket kit, either StrictlyZ's tow hook bracket (at strictlyz.com) or AudioPat's Z-Bracket (courtesyparts.com).

3) Or DIY... average cost of parts is $12 or so. The instructions are on the site somewhere, but the since the Search function is down, you've got your homework cut-out for you.

 

I just installed a Grille-Tech grill and mounted(actually, just placed) the front plate behind it, dead center. Not real happy with the zip-tie fasteners for the grill but will work on that this week-end. The plate-mounting has already gotten many compliments.

 

ok so there are options. that's good.

 

Our own AudioPat just got his patent for his Z-Bracket. Check your local dealer or courtesyparts.com... quality product
