Well since it is... I was fortunate that I bought my car from out of state where the plate wasn't required... no drill marks or damage... I'll never put it on regardless of tickets.

Even if I did, it would be the Stillen bracket before OEM.

That's what I like to hear. They'll have to physically put it on themselves which wouldn't turn out to well for them. I guess they could eventually suspend my license. No way I'm ever putting that plate on. Detracts from the design of the Z and if you don't use the Stillen mod then you have holes in your bumper. Another guy suggested the hide away motorized plate. Can't imagine the officers face when he checks it after he pulls you over and it's there.

Me too. I have scratches and screw marks in my bumper but its behind the plate so out of sight out of mind!!

But yes very stupid design

My guess is that the Z was not intended to have a front license plate. Unfortunately if you live in a state where it's mandatory like mine, putting one on in the front was an afterthought for Nissan. I wonder how many other people have damaged the paint on their Z because of this. I guess misery loves company.

Def wouldn't lose your license but they might be able to impound the car (doubtful though because it is still legally registered and would be considered safe I would think).

The motorized plate would never work... if a cop sees it is missing and then suddenly appears, you can believe he is going to do everything short of ripping the bumper off to figure out what just happened.

Would be pretty entertaining though. Hahaha
