Front bumper grill. - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

|-Goku-| · 08-17-2012, 03:15 PM

Can someone that didn't have the dealership drill for the license plate tell me if there are already pre drilled holes in the actual grill?

Dealership says it comes like that. Just want to check

Thanks.

no holes in mines. call out their bs

NO holes from the factory. The bracket comes with instructions to drill.

My Plate was in the trunk where it should stay unless it is a state law, the dealer has no right to alter your vehicle unless local laws dictate.

Mine came with no holes, and it will continue to stay like that. Dealership is f**king with you, demand a new bumper.

There are no holes. But, there are markings to indicate where to drill.

No holes in mine. I made sure to tell the dealer not to install it

I would not take delivery of a damaged new car. holes= damage

No holes on mine thank god I got mine right off the truck. Most car dealers don't have a clue about certain things. All they want is the sale.

No holes in mine. I'm using the GrimmSpeed front plate mount. The JDM cars come pre-mounted but not the USDM.
They are usually done during PDI, I ended up going to another dealer because my first choice said he "wouldn't let it leave the lot" without the front plate mount.
The same dealer ended up calling me back 3 days after I made the purchase elsewhere "I didn't have them mount the front plate bracket." To late guy.

If your dealer got the car from another dealer they could get away with saying that it came like that but otherwise from the factory there aren't any mount holes for the license plate.
