When I went through that water recently that stalled my car, my middle bumper with the license plate holder also fell off, WTF... and now it is impossible to get back on. Anyways, with all this effort, I was thinking of getting the bumper with NO license plate holder, I know many have discussed this before because here on FL I only need one license plate, and the front huge black holder is an eye sore and blocks part of the intake grill.

Anyone know the part # for clean thin one? And I assume there is no downside, thinking it should be pretty cheap.

Thanks!

Yeah it's just a trim swap out. I wish VA didn't require a front plate.

You could always go with a tow hook mount.

I would do this if it were as easy for coupes as it is for sedans. My front plate bracket is physically drilled into the bumper. Removal would leave two large screw holes in it.

Interesting. Shame they're tiny pieces yet they still want $9 shipping in most cases. The Bimmian ones don't look very discrete.
