CP-e TowPlate

Nope, no temp plates here CA, just a small, folded up temp registration thing they tape to the windshield. If you're going to run a red light camera, or speed through Phoenix with impunity, you have about a month until the plates show up in the mail!

Well you can quote anything you like out of the vehicle section in CA's book. However, i can assure you, 85% of the time, dealers dont install front plate brackets because it pisses customers off. ive demanded a replacement bumper on some cars ive purchased in the past because of that.. either replace it or ill buy somewhere else.

I ordered my previous car and specifically asked them not to install it. When it arrived, it was mounted anyway. I got pissed and the sales manager said sorry but we have to. I bought my MS3 from stock. Had my choice of about a dozen, and every single one had the front bracket attached. In fact, all of the prepped, unsold cars they had on their main lots and remote storage lot (hundreds of cars) all had them. I asked about it again and was told the same thing.

Which is fine, I'm going to re-use the same holes anyway, I'm just saying that your experience is rather different from my own.

I requested no holes as well. I told them I would not buy it if it had them present.

Sure as shit -- it had no holes.

Exactly.

I was looking for a confrontation when I went to pick up my car.

I was let down, because the bracket was in the hatch.

No bumper holes FTW.

cp-e towplate a quality piece and an easy install.

Thanks cp-e for a sturdy product that Totally cleans up the front bumper of the Mazdaspeed 3. Super fast shipment to me so that was nice.

As you can see from the picture,the side mounted cp-e towplate or liscence plate frame provides a clean look to your speed 3's front bumper.

This is my first post here, as the car has only 700 miles, but, this was my first install,
and it was a must, since i got two tics for no plate with my trade-in.....an 07 mazda 3 gt.

Ask the dealer properly and they will, REFRAIN from ScReWinG yer front bumper. they understand.

My only suggestion to make the install go smoother,add a little anti-seize goo to the tow hook shaft to aid it's removal.
