Mine had them even after I told them no. I got my caps from http://www.bumperplugs.com/

They match great.

+1. Give me info on it. (Price, where you got it.) Please.

Also, no. No holes. Dealer said "You gotta drill this. We can do it for you." I said, "I know how to drill."

Then, conveniently, I forgot how to drill, and I remain sans front license plate. Much cleaner, IMO.

none-the-less, it still looks good, it accents the rest of the black two-tone on the car, makes me want to consider getting one.

No holes on mine, just little nubs where you are supposed to drill.

Dealer gave me the license holder for the front but didn't use it. Cops in Los Angeles will give you a ticket quick if the car is parked on the street.

You can't get a license plate ticket if you're not in the car, I thought...

Sure you can. No license plate isn't a moving violation.

I dont drive a nismo but, I came pretty close to smoking a garage mechanic for that reason. I told the idiots not to drill. Its not even required in OK for a front license plate. We had signed the papers and everything sure enough i go out to get in my brand new ride and take the plastic off the seats and boom there is the front plate with two holes. I was so pissed and they wouldnt replace the bumper or anything.

Well on two occasions I had them given to me 3 at a time. I suppose I have a small attitude problem. I've been working on it.

Hi, my name's Mike. It's been 5 months since my last ticket.
