Does anyone's front license plate stick out away from the black plastic bumper molding? I noticed there's only two top screws hold the plate in place and there's like a quarter inch distance or gap between the plate and the black plastic bumper molding. Can anyone recommend a good license plate cover that will eliminate the gap?

This is why, the "Einstein's" at Nissan could not figure out how to mount a front license palte frame and came out with this. Check your 2009 370Z Owner's Manual page 9-12 & 9-13 However shorter screws will eliminate the gap.

See what the dealer did to my car and other cars to eliminate the gap.

2nd Page of the Instructions of Installing...

^^^^^Do you think the large holes are where the j-nuts are supposed to be placed so that the plate would sit flush with the bumper black plastic molding?



Sorry about the picture quality, it came from my crappy 1.3 megapixel camera phone. This picture was taken top down. The orange arrow indicates the bumper black plastic molding. The red arrow indicates the license plate. The blue double arrow indicates the gap between the plate and the bumper black plastic molding. And the yellow arrow indicates the j-nut that sits between the plate and the bumper black plastic molding.
