I am pretty upset with the dealer and my brand new 2024 Prius XLE AWD. They attached their license plate frame and their dealer name plastic plate with two big silver hex head screws directly into the plastic above the factory slots already there on the rear of the car. If I had my choice, I would love to have used a $7 universal bracket from Amazon with machine screws, washers, and nuts in the already existing holes and avoided the ugly screws and holes in the plastic rear panel.
First new car? (or first in a while?) They all do this now, it's not worth getting heated up about it. Congrats on the new wheels and enjoy!
So here are the photos. The two giant self-taping screws they used just screwed right into the plastic. I put two 8mm spring clips in the slots that were already on the rear bumper, attached a license plate adapter, and now I have 4 nice machine screw threaded sockets to attach my license plate to. 20241222_125203 by NavyLCDR posted Dec 22, 2024 at 2:55 PM 20241222_124956 by NavyLCDR posted Dec 22, 2024 at 2:55 PM 20241222_125131 by NavyLCDR posted Dec 22, 2024 at 2:55 PM
