Default Front License Plate!

Any ideas on how to put on your front license plate? Already got a ticket and don't want to drill. Not interested in paying 80 for a stillen towhook. I've heard of some diy tow hooks. Any help would be great.

Wire-tie it to the front grill




Look for a used Stillen license plate mount. I love mine.

Where do u live at? I'd just pay it and be done with it lol. I live in Houston and I never see cops writing tickets for no front plate unless you have multiple other violations. Not worth drilling into the bumper.

i'm in California, probably one of the most useless laws, I could have just paid for the stillen instead of the ticket.

isnt it just a $25 fix-it ticket? just buy the towhook attachment. 3 tickets and you've already got yourself a mount!!

i prefer gominigo's:

the Stillen kit is actually cheaper but seems more sturdy than that Gominigo kit. I risk it here in NY, once i get one i'll actually go out and get the Stillen kit

UnexpectedFar, I've got the gominigo kit on the front of my Nismo. Works well, is plenty sturdy and is way better than screwing the plate and bracket onto the bumper.

Does anyone know if the Stillen or GoMiniGo kits will work on a non Nismo 13? I talked to both through e-mail, and couldn't give me an answer except "just try it".....
