Need a front license plate mount

Zdom · 11-20-2009, 03:18 PM

I purchased my 09 370Z used from a state that doesn’t have a front license plate requirement. I live in a state that requires a front plate. I call my Nissan dealer and they want $100 for the front mount. Seems a little steep for a piece of plastic. I have seen the real generic ones at local auto parts store for $4, but I would prefer one that is perhaps more fitted for the Z. Does anyone know where I can get a cheaper OEM type mount or after market mount that will fit the vehicle? Or has anyone successfully used some type of generic mount and been satisfied?

Will sell you mine. Still in the plastic, never been used.

Run without it as I do in Illinois...............! Did it for 7 years on my 350 and for more years with my early 90's Impalas.

Isn't this supped to come with the car? Mine did (haven't put it on...)

I know some Ferrari guys that have a removable mount for when they get fix-it tickets. It's a bracket that screws into the front tow hook slot. I tried to get one for my car but the slot seems to be unusually large in diameter and thread size.

For the 370z, check out Stillen they make one, I have it but never use it. Will keep it for the purpose of fix it tickets.

I have mine too but I haven't put it on either. Don't plan to unless I get pulled over for it and get cited...
