Default Front license plate relocator

Hey guy I got a ticket for no front license plate today. It is for $44, Damn !!!!!!
If I paid that not put plate on it, it might get more ticket in the future. Which will cost me more and more so I thinking about install front license plate.

But My front bumper is after market and I want it to look nice, I need a good license plate relocator that look like the picture below.

Where can I get one ? And will i have a problem if I put the plate a little deep in that vent ?

ouch.....looks like you need to mod or drill. Try the Ex-33 or 16 here...http://www.sigmaautomotive.com/SeikoSangyo/brackets.php. Use some 3-M tape if you don't want to drill into the bumper in front of the tow hook hole.

3-M tape will hold no problem! Also...I have been driving 2 different cars since 2005 and have never been busted. A friend did, he just taped the plate to the car and got a deputy to look at it and sign it off. Never had to pay any fine or anything.

It won't crack. Your best bet is to use self-tapping screws instead of drilling a hole first. That's what I did on my Evo and it worked fine.

^depending on the area, some cops are dicks.. they will ask you where it's bolted to... if not bolted on, they won't accept it.. but usually they are cool with 3m tape..

Cut the heads off of two bolts and glue them to the bracket! Instant fake drill look!

I just bought the plate holder that installs under the car and with a click of a remote, the plate rolls out and pops up in front.. Can't wait to have it installed!

On a side note, $44 is cheap! Up here in Northern Cali its $100! Ouch! I've gotten 3 tickets for it so far (which is why I bought the hide away plate)... Always from meter maids instead of cops. Don't they have enough to do to check expired meters??
