Has anyone removed the front license plate bracket? And if so does it look alright? And finally how do you do it?

... u get a screw driver and unscrew the 2 screws that hold it in... just go look at it and u will feel really stupid for even asking.
Cars look good with no front plates, but its illegal in my state to not have one so I got no choice.

I probably will feel stupid, I glanced at it when i was running into my apt earlier and didnt see any exposed screws but ill take a better look at it.

The screws are under the plate... you cant see them with the plate on. Take off the plate (also with screwdriver) then you will see where the screws are.

as for it looking alright... picture your car with no front plate lol I have no front plate ( Quebec, Canada) and it looks like a normal car with no front plate.. personally, I like it because the car looks cleaner.. but that's all..
however, if you have a front plate, I wouldn't suggest removing it unless you want frequent stops by ze po-po!

Yeah I just ran out and did it and feel like a dumb*** I apprecitate it.

I dont need it. It was just there and looked in the way I didnt know if it was molded into the front bumber or something because I have seen a lot of max's with it and no license plate.

Sorry to highjack the thread, but do you want to sell the bracket if you don't need it? Just wanted to give it a try

1 problem with removing it is there will be a lot of built up dirt and a "shadow".

Im going to clean off the dirt and see if i like the look and if i do i wouldnt mind selling it to you.

FYI, 95-96 plate holders are different from 97-99 ones.

A little cleaning and waxing cleared up the dirt and shadow from mine.

yeah i took mine off and its defniatly a different color. no fading. and lots of dirt build up. i put the lisence plat edirectly on to my bumper instead of using the bracket because i need a front plate but hated the holder

No stops yet in my 1 1/2 years of owning the car

Didn't even get mentioned when the cop was inspecting hit and run damage on the front of the car.

I love FL no front plates needed. Having a front plate just make the front look ugly in my opinion.
