So, i bought my car in NJ, but i'm registered as a PA driver, as i have a house back in PA, and an apartment in NJ.

Well, NJ requires front license plates, so the car had the front plate holder on it. I go to take it off, and there is a hole in the front bumper!!!!!

Please, tell me my dealer is responsible for fixing this.....

That sucks because the front license plate holder wasn't bolted to the front bumper...maybe Massachusetts license plate holders are different than New Jersey's???

it's bolted below, but there was a screw in the middle. i am just completely in awe. i don't even know what to say.

what states require this anyways, is it common? I just can't live with a hole in the front of my car!

Man, you can't get a break! That blows. I'm thinking the plate holder comes from Acura. There are other posts on it https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...ighlight=plate. We have to have front plates in Texas but mine is just clamped on from underneath. No need for the middle screw although the hole is on the holder. Your dealer is a bonehead. It's not like it's going to fall off. I'd make him swap the bumper.

that's what i want. i want a bumper. can they just swap it with another rbp that would have had the screw in it? some new jersean (or whatever they're called) will never know....

so it's not unreasonable to ask for a new bumper? i don't just want filling and paint, unless it looked flawless, which i'd always know, so it wouldn't. i feel like crying.

where is Colin for some input????

i think it's unreasonable for me as a customer to need to request that they don't drill a hole in my car.

i'm switching to the other post.


sorry for the repost!
