Front License Plate
 

Did anyone get the license plate installed in the front and then end up taking it off?? I want to take mine off but I don't know how it would look with the drill holes. And if you have no license plate in the front, do the cops give you a lot of hassle for it?? I see a lot of cars without their front one and I wonder if those people get tickets often. Anyone have any experience with either one of these things??

Hassle... possibly, taking your own chances. I personally like the offset one.

take it off and see how those drill holes look. you can easily put it back on. Mine were pretty aweful because the bumper material got pulled outwards

Thank god for living in a place where front license plates aren't required at all.

Life is good if all you have to worry about is where to mount your front plate. I took mine off, but then got pulled over for doing 300 in a 35. I got a pass from the cop once I told her about not having a plate in the front. She understood how not having that thing up front could result in a car being totally uncontrollable. She was cool, and realized that my car would totally suck if it had to have a plate up front. She made me show her my penis. She laughed and let me go with a warning.

I had a plate relocation kit (grimmspeed) and got hassled by local police about it. He then told me he smelled alcohol on my breath (no drinks that night). Just because you have a front plate with relocation kit doesn't mean you wont get hassled, as was the case with me. Apparently it's illegal if off center. And yes I was very polite with him the entire time.

:word:

where do you live? my county hit me with a $210 ticket for no front plate...

Personally I would have it taken off, fixed and than relocate it with either using the tow hook, drilling again but this time lower and not on the actual paint of the car, Or plastic tie it to the grill...I plan on doing the last option in the future. I'm pretty confident it'll come out okay...But if you really don't want it look up your state laws, How much the fine is and whether its a fix it ticket. On long island between the ticket and surcharge it comes out to around 200$ plus its not a fix it.

Think of it this way-Ticket money or Mod money :)

I took mine off and no problems

If i ever get pulled over, i will tell them that i just got my car back from the dealer due to front bumper replacement lol

Front plates not required here ;)

Toggle bolts with washers using the plate kit that came with the car. No drilling on car. Had to drill screw holes on plate in order to clear the lip. Attachment 43222

Take the plate off. You don't need the money you'll be shelling out for the tickets anyway.

Ask yourself this, do you want to be singled out by a cop looking to meet his quota for the month?
