I keep the front plate and mount in my trunk. That way no hardazz cop can tow for failure to display. Worst he can do us give me a ticket.

Having said that, I was never pulled over in either my 335 or Cayman S.

Is that true? I don't think it is... I have the OEM and it seems to just snap onto the mustache.

To be fair, I told the dealer no drilling and they called me later that night to tell me a bracket was in the trunk and doesn't require drilling.

I'm positive here's a link I found for the oem bracket. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6232

Well I jut wait for my grimmspeed plate holder, then I'll take out my ghetto Zip ties in front, so IF ever 5-0 pulled me over I can show them the pole just came in I don't have time to put it in.

If you drill a hole for the license plate, chances are you will never see the holes as you will always be running a plate.
