License plate holes repair

I just got my g37 Friday and in Las Vegas they require front license if yur car has the holes to mount it to the front but I don't want it so I was wondering if anyone has ever done anything to get rid of these holes or have any ideas of what I could do. Thanks

I also purchased a 2013 in NJ but live in Pa. after I special ordered car and did a walk around I went inside to sign paper work only to come out to two holes drilled through bumper with a paper plate. I was pissed and also looking for remedy. I did purchase an Infiniti chrome plate but would rather have nothing.

What ? You don't need a front plate in Vegas.
My parents live there, no front plates.
They had a front plate in NY but not Vegas.

That's why I posted the link and they look just like their website shows them.

I live in Vegas and I never put the front plate. My '02 firebird never got the front put on when there's 4 holes under the front license plate cover. I just bought my G37 about 10 days ago, and I'm not sure if they already drilled the hole for the front plate. I got like a package in the trunk for the front license plate. I'll have to take a look at it later.

Hey guys sorry to bump an old thread but I just ordered plugs from bumperplugs.com for my new G37. Did you guys have to make the holes larger to install the plugs? I would rather not have to do this. Or if I do is the front plate still able to be installed later? My car is a lease so a little concerned.

Yes, I have those same plugs from the same website. I had to ream the holes out slightly with a pocketknife to get the plugs to seat. Probably made them a 1/8" larger. You can probably still reattach the license plate bracket with larger OD self tapping screws. No worries, buddy. Alternatively, use a bolt and nut to reattach your license plate bracket when you reattach it!
