plate relocater question
 
so I really hate that we have to have plates in the front here in hawaii while everyone else gets to have nice clean front bumper. so I went to take mine off and noticed that we have mounting holes on our bumper while everyone else doesn't. does anyone happen to know if the plate relocated comes with tabs to cover those holes up? or if I can just buy tabs to cover them?? I ask the lady at the dealership and she had no idea. if anyone can shed some light on the matter ill buy you a round of beers lol

you can buy plugs at a craft store.

then paint them to match with touch up paint

Yeah I told my rep the same thing about how I wished Hawaii didn't have the double plate requirement. I love the front grill w/o that plate holder hanging over the middle, but oh well. It's not quite as unsightly as some of the placements I've seen.

Just wondering why it's supposedly going to take nearly a month to get my plates O.o

Did you two request that they don't mount the license plate until you receive the car in hand? I did this before I put my money down and my request was written down...they till mounted the license in the front, but because of the written request (and the fact that I didn't want to receive the car with those huge holes), the Servco Gods deemed that I should get a new bumper. Look into it if you guys said something before receiving.
