So I got a ticket today for not having my front license plate on. Is there any alternative to drilling holes in the front bumper? Any help would be greatly appreciated, drilling holes is the LAST thing I want to do...

 

Z bracket...do a search. It screws into your tow hook up front.

 

As stated above, but search for Zee-bracket.

 

I put the Zee Bracket on my new car. You just remove the towing cover, drill two small holes on the plastic on either side of it to which the Zee Bracket then screws into. You can then mount your license place rather low using the two top screws or high - near the stock position - by using the two lower holes of the plate.

 

thank guys... i really appreciate it!

 

Hey,

I went the cheap route. I drilled a hold on the bottom (middle) of the license plate and zipped-ties using the three holes.

Pay for the ticket and don't drill any holes. That's what I do =)

 

i would do whatever it takes to not have a front plate. the front plate makes any car look less exotic

 

i jsut use tie rods to the grill

 

CaNT u just put it on, then take it off after your fix it has been OKed?

 

use 2 sided tape to mount it and get it signed off, then promptly remove, or attach to grill with zip ties, then promptly remove after signing off.

 

Does a fix-it ticket, for missing the front license plate, actually come with a fine? Or do you just have to show the cops that you have fixed it?

 

there is a small fine too.

 

10-20$ admin fee

 

Okay, it is still a good deal. No front plates for me!

 

where at did u get sited?

 

You can only have so many front plate fix-it tickets before the fines become expensive... or so I've heard.

 

Get a nice dealership sticker with your temp papers and slap it on the front windshield inside your car. Put the backplates on. If a cop comes from the front, they'll see its a new car. If they come from the rear, they can't see the front plates. I'm experimenting with this configuration, because I do alot of night driving I haven't been stop for no front plates yet on my Z.

In either case, I rather pay the fine than drill holes in my bumper. I hate all the flower law makers in my state, next they want side door license plates.

 

Get it signed at a DMV, they're nice about it. But I just forge mine and turn it one, works the same

 

Me too. I bought a pack of 20 tie rods for $1.99 and used 4 to attach my front plate. I think it looks good at that position. A little more subtle than attaching it to the front bumper.
