That's why I'm happy I got to the dealership before they mounted the front plate. No front plate holes here.

maybe it would be possible to sand it down to fit without drilling (of course, I say this without knowing how they actually attach)

The FRS gets 2 screws into the grill. It's not as noticeable as you think when removed.
The BRZ gets grommets and nuts behind the bumper piece. The finish looks ok without the front plate on since the grommets keep it clean looking.

Either way, you get screwed lol

unfortunately my whiteout fr-s was sitting in the dealer show room the first week of june with their dealer license plate holder already installed

i didnt have the opportunity to ask because they only had 2 other fr-s in black - those did not have the plate holders drilled.. but i did not want another black car... the whiteout pearl look was too good to pass up

You can go to Home Depot and find some plastic tabs and sand them down to get them to fit if need be
