Where do you guys put your front license plate if you have a body kit?

just put on a sarona front bumper....looks really good.....but Where do i put my license plate now? i don't want to drill it into the bumper, it'll look bad....putting it on my dash board will get me a ticket in NY.

any ideas, comments, experiences with this and the law enforcement?

thanks!

You're best bet is to just leave it off. You shouldn't get bothered for it...

why are they so strict about not having a front plate on? kinda weird. i have never had my front plate on, and they have never even commented on it. besides, even if they do pull you over and say something just tell them that the screew came off and you didn't want the plate to scratch your paint so you just took it off and your on the way to the hardware store now.

im not worried about getting pulled over.....what im worried about is getting a ticket while im parked outside on a public street.

And in NY, they are very strict, i even got a ticket for having it on my dash in front window.

In Wash State they look for that first as a reason to pull people over.

I took mine off anyway - fu<k em if they can't take a joke.



(Now that I said that, I'll probably get pulled over tomorrow)

its good man...some minor fitment problems with the sarona...like the clears didn't fit in as flush as they should...but other than that it looks like a totally different car...and paint job was great...he blended it into the fender.

call me when you get a chance.
i'll post pics when i get a chance.

I temporarily attached the plate to my grille with zip ties. It's not as bad as i thought......but i'd still prefer a better way....i might have to screw it into the bumper after all.
