Front License Plate Bracket!?

Picked up my car today. One of the items on the to do list was for the dealer to install the front license plate bracket and GUESS WHAT!? VERY UPSETTING: it's slightly off center!! I picked it up afterhours, so there was no one to really get into it with, but I'm getting conflicting information on whether or not the cars come with 'dimples' on the front bumper to aid where to drill the holes for the bracket; can anyone confirm whether or not same exists. NOT HAPPY.

The piece of plastic (bracket) behind the license plate on your front bumper.

I would just purchase one of the brackets that screw into your tow hook on the front side... You should have a little circular thing, you remove it, and under neath there will be a space to screw in a hook to tow your car. Instead, by the bracket that screws in there and you don't have to have a permanent bracket in the front.

I think you missed dbs600's point. He said that his dealer installed the bracket on the front bumper but apparently didn't do a very good job since it appears to him that the bracket is not centered. The tow hook license plate would obviously not be centered
