when i picked up may car in November, it had the grill plate on front with the license plate bracket. I see there are some that do not have the bracket. Was i suppose to have the option of having on or the other, or should i have received both?

thanks

I didn't have to ask for the license plate delete, my SA assumed I'd want it that way. It's more of an option.

*edit* I live in California where it is against the law to not have a front license plate.

The dealer is the one who usually decides if it is ordered or not unless the buyer specifically requests it. I live in a state with no front license plate so the local dealer never orders a car with the front license plate bracket.

Do you live in a state that requires a front plate? If so that might be the reason unless as the others stated, you requested a blank filler.

I live in CA, and had to specifically order it without the license plate holder.

Iowa- and they require it. I figured that is why it came with one, but i thought i still had the option, or that it might have come with both, and the buyer could swap them out at their discretion.

I took mine off, in WA they are required, but I drove my G35 for 5 years without using one and never had any issues. I carry it in the trunk so I *have* it, just not installed.

You dont recieve both plate fillers, you have to request the one that you want. When I purchased my car it had a plate holder in the front and living in florida its not necessary, so I refused to take delivery unless they switched out the plate filler. Which they ordered and placed on the car on delivery day.

with the means to fix one. That's why you car shipped with one, because, based on your location, the dealer had to order it that way.

Fortunately, it's very easy (and relatively inexpensive) to swap out the filler plate. Many dealers will order the part and swap it out for you as part of the deal if you ask them to ahead of time.

What's annoying is when you live in a state where no front plate is required and through an allocation/car swap your car is delivered with the front plate filler plate.

I specifically put on my order sheet that I wanted the grill filler plate and not the front license plate holder/bracket.

I also live and have been driving in California for the past 15 years and have never been pulled over for not having a front license plate. I've had one friend who was speeding pretty drastically and when he was pulled over for that the cop wrote him a fix-it ticket for not having a front plate.
