License Plate Bracket Damaging Our Cars?

TheWeatherman · 06-24-2009, 10:23 AM

Yeah, I don't even see it, but was wondering why Nissan would put screws that long on the bracket, when clearly it digs right into the bumper. I'm sorry about not seeing the thread AK had started already. No biggie to me, but just quickly wanted to vent. I still love the car. I never even use my new FX!

Just put my front plate on after getting a ticket for it. I made sure I bought some .5 in length bolts for it. And I put some electrical tape behind the mounter to keep it from accidentally scratching the paint. I was planning on taking the thing off again after I got it signed off at the police department, but it was a bit of a pain to get it on and I had to drill in two .4 in holes into the black fascia. Plus, those grommets are pieces of crap. Probably better to just leave it on now.
