Well, well, well. Here's one that arrived in Michigan (where they require front plates). Go figure....

Picked mine up today. Requesting the delete worked for me!
Congrats! That’s probably not a great indicator for other states though since front plates aren’t required in Ohio anymore.

Correct. But my dealer’s FCTP, where they did not do the front plate holder delete, came WITH one.

Still Ohio.
So I have some hope that my bracket WILL be deleted as per the dealer removing it from my order sheet (even though Illinois is front license required state also)? I hope I have the same luck as you then!

Mine was just delivered today to my dealer here in Ohio. They called to tell me it has the front plate bracket pre-installed from the factory. I ordered in June, so I had no option to delete. Frustrating but will needing those plugs I suppose.

Mine was the opposite. I need the front plate, but it came from the factory without it.

Front brackets are installed by the dealer not the factory. Tell them not to install it. But there might be a state law requiring dealers to install. No front plate in GA.
That is incorrect.

Mine initially had it on the order but I told the dealer to delete and he did. I won't get my car until June or July so I don't know yet if they will mount one or not.

I might give this a go since the bumper plugs website does not have Infinite Blue yet.... Plus, of course the MME has 3 holes and the plugs are sold in pairs.

BTW, I heard this recently from Ron Heiser:
"due to some Forum commentary and feed back from some of our California dealers starting with first week of April production we are now sending the front license plate bracket not attached to the vehicle and with no pre-drilled holes in the bumper cover. "
