Just wondering since I yet to see another 5 on the road to compare and that every other car I have purchased in California had something special for attaching the plates.
My dealer screwed their dealer ad tag directly into the front bumper, no bracket, no inserts, just directly into the thin unreinforced bumper material.
I did the same when installing my front license plate. I also noticed that I could probably back the screws out with my fingers if I tried because the bumper material is so thin, maybe 2-3 threads engagement before the screw popped thru the other side. Was the dealer suppose to provide something more for "securely" installing the front plates?
