That's good to know. I'll definitely instruct the dealer to leave them off.

Anyone have experience with a tow-hook license plate mount? This could work for the eTron without drilling holes.

I deliberately asked the dealer to "not install" the front license plate. California has become very strict on this, so the dealer taped the plastic temp licence plate onto the front of the car, took a picture as evidence they did their job as required by law, and I had to remove it.

Price quote from Audi SF for a replacement grill is 862.58 for the part (tax included).

My MB dealer would never have drilled holes into the grill of a new car without asking me. FWIW. Of course, my MB salesman has been in that business longer than anyone else on the west coast, so he has no s***s left to give about certain things.

Thats all it is anywhere that they’re required. The people making money off drivers have better lobbyists.
