So I am enjoying the 2014 CX5 and got my plates in today. When getting ready to put it on the back I realized the holes dont have the plastic studs in them like I am used to on other cars I have owned. Do the CX5's not have the plastic within the hole and basically go right into the rear hatch?

If theres nothing there at all...(like a dealer tag). Stop back at the dealer, they should have plenty.

That's all mine had, just holes in the plastic that the screws cut into. I was somewhat surprised as it doesn't really even have any reinforcement there, but it seems to work fine. Probably another weight/cost savings.

Time to splurge with a plate holder. Check out on Mazda website under accessories. 'CX-5' or 'Zoom-Zoom' available for under $40.
My dealer put them on for NOTHING! In fact...I got the whole car for NOTHING
What a country! What a country!

LOL not the license frame the actual holes the screws go into haha.
But I usually use no frame.
They might have some initials in common, but that license plate frame is meant for a "horse" of a different color.
Exactly, it's the trademarked/copywrited GT logo from the original pony car, which I have no problem with since Mazda doesn't have a GT logo for it's Grand Touring models. And the frame quality and finish is super.

I bought a generic black metal frame from my local parts store for $6. Then I swapped out the regular headed bolts for torx security bolts @ 1.00.
We live in an ever evolving society....
I get my frames here:http://www.goodspeedmotoring.com/au...r-coated-brushed/custom-license-plate-frames/ Excellent quality.
I'm not one for frames with model or manufacturer names since I debadge my cars. Any enthusiast will recognize a specific model or trim level without looking at the rear deck to identify what it is.
Because it's related to rear license plate mounting (with and without frame and what dealer installs or doesn't install).

Actually the original question was if the rear l/p holes were supposed to have plastic inserts in them...lol
