    Do you know when/who drills the front bumper holes for the license plate bracket? I want to avoid having the holes in the bumper if at all possible as I won't be running a front plate. So, I'd like to know who to place my "no holes/front bracket" request with.

    FYI, it is a '18 Pro being built in San Antonio.

    Thanks!!!

    Dealer usually puts it on as part of the delivery inspection. Ask your salesman to not attach it upon delivery.

    Mine was a dealer installed option . I asked for it not to be put on and they did not do it . That gave me the plate holder and I had no holes drilled in the truck . Ask the dealer .

    hey dude, I went through this same situation with my cement PRO. Dealer still put the plates on..I removed them but covered them with some hole cover plugs. Looks pretty good since they match the back bumper sensor plugs.
