front plate bracket

[unclet75]

Does anyone out there that owns a 2013 Verano have a factory OEM front license plate bracket?

My car did not come with one. My State requires a front plate.

Buick customer service says it is a mandatory add on to cars shipped to states that require front plates.

Dealer said they never order brackets but he would get me one.

Today deaqler says there is no such thing as a front bracket for license plate. Told me to drill two holes in the front bumper. I assume he meant where the dimples are. That is what I did to attach the brackets that came with my 2 different 08 Saturns.

Why is it I can't bring myself to drilling the front bumper on the chance my plate will mount there without issues?

Check with another dealer. Get BCS to assist.

Good. Since I am from Massachusetts we have two plates. Dealers are required to provide that on a new car here. I don't like it but if I have to have a plate on her I would prefer to have a mounting plate so that the plate is flat and not curved around the point of the bumper.

On top of the spare tire was a package containg two self tapping screws along with instructions on how to mount front plate. the only question now is does one mount the plate or wait for the fix it ticket? Case closed.

Agreed. Keep on them. There is a mounting piece for that. It will keep your plate flat and straight. If your dealer don't want to do it there are other dealers looking for your business. Just let them know that you will take your service needs elsewhere.

I received the same package in my trunk.
