    What are people using to fill these two little license plate bumper holes? They're bugging me.image.jpg

    Make your dealer fill them if you are in a state where no front license plate is required. My last Truck (12' TRD Tundra) had a dealer license plate installed when I picked it up. I raised "hell" and they took it off and knocked some more off the price. I put a Harley tag on the front. Fortunately, my new truck (16' Tacoma) did not have the holes punched out when I picked it up. Alabama does not require a front tag.

    Wait... I have a Tacoma and I'm in a state without front license plate requirements and there are no holes in my bumper.... I bet there was a "dealer installed" advertisement from the looks of those holes.. There's a license plate bracket that comes with the truck not installed from the factory, I have mine... the holes are different me thinks.

    Hey OP - where's your grill bro??

    Just got my 2017 last weekend. I too live in a state that doesn't require front plates. Mine does not have holes either. I got a bracket if I wanted to install one though.

    Looking a little closer at the pic. I agree with bobrown looks like they may have had it installed.

    You can always get push fasteners and spray paint them to the color of your truck. They're relatively inexpensive.

    No holes for me either. There is no way they should have drilled them before delivery.

    I sent my dealer for a loop when I instructed no front plate prior to delivery. I had to sign a waiver cause it's law here, albeit never enforced.
