if you go to Importfan.com they sell a lisence plate bracket that can flip up and down so it will be there but out of the way

I have my bracket drilled near the bottom of my bumper. You can check my cardomain site for pics. I dunno if that is the way you want it, but it is kinda out of the way. You can bend and fold the plate back to make it smaller so only your plate number would show.

Well, if it is illegal to ride without a front plate there aren't many options, you can try to put something on back of the plate to cushion it against the paint like glue some speaker box carpet on back or something. Other than that there isn't much room anywhere else.

The CF one is it. I decided to run the risk of no lisence plate in the front, it messes up the look especially on an aftermarket front bumper. Here in Texas they are voting to remove that law in september, cross your fingers.

Yeah. It's the same stuff people use to clear out their blinkers and tails.

arrested?!? damn, that's just bad luck! someone should just design one that will slide in an out by the radiator so that when they do pull you over for not having it, you can just slyly push the button, pop out your plate and be like: "So, what seemed to be the problem officer?" and he'll just scratch his head...








sorry, i was watching James Bond today!




(Oh, and then some rockets that shoot out of the fogs would be really cool. but a little ricey, maybe. i dunno.)

Don't put it behind your windshield. I think it just attracts more attention. It's a 30 dollar fine which you can just mail in (don't even have to put your plate back on).

Why not zip tie it to the back of the front bumper? (i wish i had a pic) like zip ties can tie on to those lil lil itty bars on the bottom (like 3 of themi think) u technically have a front plate, and its can be seen.

I like the factory front plate mount. I registered my car from New York to Georgia and took off the front plate.

It looks better without but that chunk of plastic isnt so bad in NYC with the crazy parking. There's not much you can do unless you make a custom fiberglass or bondo an insert for your plate on your front bumper.

Zipties!!! Going to have to come up with something else when I put the stillen lip on though. Might just cut the plate down to fit in the valence.



Still working on the grill, no comments

I like the grill

Very nismo-esque.

You might want to bend the plate on a jig. not cut it. It's illegal to cut your plate in New York as well. If it's bent... you dont know how.

Most southeastern states don't require the plate, our insurance is lower too, hint,hint. See if you can lay it down flat on the front lip to where the numbers are pointing up bend the rest of the plate down across the lip and see if they still pull you over, its worth a shot.

Why not just do something temprary cheap and wont mess up your paint till spetember, so if its passed you didnt waste $125 on something you'll be taking off in a few months.

i just bent the bottom and top parts of my plate backwards so it would fit in a lower grill of the bumper, then i zip tied it, pretty easy.
and its angled towards the ground, so no high up camera is goin to get any good pics of it, and it reflects any light or laser towards the ground





you may not be able to see it too well, but its there, and i haven't had any problems yet

You're from MA... Find someone with some old green plates (or plate rather) since the green ones there was only one issued and see if you can reg your car with existing plates. I've known a few people who have been able to do this somehow that way they can get away with only having one plate.

When you have red plates you have to have front/back ... I hate having mine on my car too.
