Where's a good place to buy a front license plate kit?
Or has anyone actually been pulled over for not having their front license plate?
What's the magnet system?

Just passed 1,000 miles! Merry Christmas!

What about anywhere in stores, and which stores?

There are about 9,000 threads on this site about front license plate brackets. I usually don't tell people to search, but did you even bother?

Look, here's one:

Protip: Don't use the search option on this site. Use Google instead and restrict the search to this site using the "site:" tag, like so:

site:ft86club.com front license plate

Don't do the magnet trick! I did it and now has this indentation on my bumper from the license plate holder, it's fugly and I cannot go back to the no plate/tow hook option.

I only do a google search and restrict to ft86 lol. Forum searches are too restricting. I don't how people are smart enough to use a forum, but not to do a quick google search. Someone sticky his protip!

Lol on that note, anyone else expect something NSFW? Good title OP...

I'm not advocating this but, I've been driving my FRS without a front plate since the day I bought and I have not gotten into any trouble without it.

P.S. I don't drive like a jerk or do stupid things.

strat61caster · 12-25-2014, 09:12 PM

2 years driving in the SF Bay Area over 30k miles with no plate. Got pulled over once for speeding and no mention of the plate by anyone.

I'm entirely motivated by laziness as I don't want to bust out the drill spending ~hour to make sure it's pretty.

D_Thissen · 12-25-2014, 10:05 PM

Grimmspeed makes a good kit. It screws into your tow hook.

Awesome.
I'm going to do this. No more front plate...

How easy is it for someone to take it out of your tow hook, hey I'm going to tell the cop my tow hook license plate got stolen.

Then you are going to drive around with the cover off the hook attachment and a big hole in your bumper.
Don't lie to them! If you want to take the risk no big deal, but the more you say if you get caught the more trouble you could be in. Throw the plate in the back and if you get pulled over just say you haven't put it on. No big song and dance and elaborate stories, cops are not stupid and do not like to be thought of as so. Be polite and respectful and the worse case would likely be a fix it ticket.
Or ... just mount it and get used to seeing it there. I bet after a week you don't even notice it.
