When I placed my order with Park Place in Bellevue, I specifically made a point to tell my salesman to NOT drill holes in the front for a license plate, and he laughed and said they do not do that unless it's requested by the customer.For the US it's a dealer-fit item, so in states where it isn't a legal requirement you can ask the dealer to leave it off.
Tell your dealer you don't want holes drilled in the front.
