Putting on the front license plate holder?

Nah.

There will be two little dimples in the front bumper that indicate where the holes should go for those screws to attach the bracket. I had the body shop put it on for me when I was getting my mud guards installed.

I'm in PA, where we don't need front plates. I used it for one of the Prius logo plates from the PriusChat store. It looks really nice.

I can't understand why some states don't require front plates. We do here in WA and I think it's a good idea. If your car gets stolen, the police (or anyone for that matter) can only identify it from the back. So a plate in the front doubles your chances for recovering your vehicle.

Yep. That's why I left it to the pros.

The selling dealer should have attached the bracket to the front bumper as part of the new car prep before the car was delivered to you. If I were you, I'd go back and have them do it or, if the selling dealer is too far, have that dealer pay the one closest to you to do the job.

Here in Michigan, we aren't required to have front plates either. And my Prius doesnt seem to have anything on the front bumper to indicate installing a front plate bracket.

Not sure what I would do if I moved to a state that did require them though..

I've never seen a dealer not put their dealer advertising plates on a new car for delivery. They usually want the few weeks "free" advertising until the real plates come in the mail. Maybe not true in states with one plate, but in California, its always been my experience to have to remove the dealer ad to put the plates on, and the bracket has always been there before I get it.
