    My dealer was awesome. The salesmas said "I can't put holes in your bumper, it looks too nice". So he gave me the extra plate and told me it's up to me if I put it on or not. I just leave it in the house. I don't think we have a two plate law here.

    My 09 I just got had the dimples in it. I couldn't get myself to drill the holes so I was looking at making a bracket up that was bent up from my skid plate. That didn't really work 2 many bends. So I went to a junk yard and picked up a black plate holder off a eclispe. I drilled 2 holes on the inside holders and used zip ties and fastened it to the lower black grill. I took to felt pads to the bottom and sits perfect like it was made for it.

    Try drilling holes in your front bumper, should reduce the drag enough to counter the loss from the lift and tires.
