New bumper without holes!
BEFORE:
After 4 months of fighting with Nissan North America and Nissan Northeast. NEW BUMPER Now the dealer has the Stillen tow hook for the license plates available with a sign "If you don't want holes on your bumper". I wonder why.. They had one mounted on the 40th Ann 370Z, with a price of $79.99. See link for story: Nissan Co. claims that state law instructs them....

80 bucks to mount a front plate!I hate the front plate law, it serves no purpose.States with redlight/speed camaras snap rear plate pics and police full you over from the rear also. So what's the point? New law with rear plate only= cheaper tag rates, less metal used(enviroment crap)and no holes in my Fuking bumper.
Truthfully i refuse to screw into my bumper and I've walked out of a few dealerships because the plate mounts were already attached. Complete deal breaker, she's been violated.

Happy I got to my dealer before the holes were there... Glad to see yours was fixed!
I've got the Stillen bracket as well, it beats the holes, but the front license plate still sucks...

I solved my problem by getting the Nismo bumper. Now I roll with no front plate AND a tow hook sticking out. I like it.
Papo, your car looks great.

Looks good Papo!
Can you do me a favor and check and see if they swapped the VIN sticker on to your new bumper? I'm thinking about getting a new bumper and I was concerned about this. I know someone else had their's swapped, but I'm curious. |
