Front license plate bracket holes.
Anyone running without front plate but dealer drilled holes already? What do you guys do to fill the holes?

Install the bracket and put some sort of vanity plate there. If you don’t have the bracket get the salesman to GIVE you one After all our 300 aren’t cheap.

No vanity plates for me, would rather have the Cali white license plate. However, still wondering if anyone siliccessfully plugged their holes. I noticed the bumper is not flat. Also, are the holes in the painted area or the chrome area?

The holes can be filled and color matched. They did it on our front bumper when the dealer drilled the holes off center. Can't find where they used to be.

Who did the fill and paint for you? Dealer paid?

+1 on the Cali front license plate. Got a fixing ticket a year ago. Now any car bought it gets its front license bracket on before it heads home.

Took it to the dealer and they handled it. Don't know if it was in house or not.
