I decided to remove the Front License Holder. I did this for 2 reasons. Here in Ohio the front plate is still required ( it's Ohio, it figures ) I hate the look and have never used them and so far have never been pulled over for it. Also, wanted to wax behind it.
Well, I pulled it away from the Bumper far enough that I could snip the plastic clips. After getting it off I noticed 2 little chips in the paint. After wondering a bit If I did it, I realized that the lag screws they used to attach the plate were too long and went through the holder and into the bumper/paint. The screws have very sharp points.
I don't know who provides the screws but the Dealer had to have done this because they had attached their Dealer logo plate ( haven't got mine yet )
So, before you take delivery I would check this out before this happens to your Vehicle.
