I hated having to drill into the bumper, but I knew it had to be done at some point. I don't want to give cops any additional reason to pull me over, lol

I agree with this. And to me, having the front plate on the center is far better than a license plate on the tow hook, albeit with hole on the bumper.

+1 here. I have been resisting doing this, but at my first oil change, I will likely have the dealer install the front plate. In Cali, they even give tickets on parked cars. My friend just rec'd a ticket on his 911 parked on the street in SF at a Giants game.

What's really crazy is that if I get a ticket for no front plate, my insurance premiums go up & I get insurance points. My insurance co is great (NJ Manufacturers), but they are very strict!

Now CA cops will charge to sign off a fix-it ticket, for non-city resident they charge even more. Just not worth it after get pull over from my older car.

I was lucky enough to stop the dealership from drilling holes.

I go without

I'll do the Greddy or Perrin thing when it comes time to sign off a ticket
