front licence plate damage
 
Curious how people had their front license plate damage repaired? They scratched my bumper when they put the screws in to attach my plate. Thanks

That why I haven't put one on my car yet. Im suppose, Texas, but I don't. I just keep it behind the seat and place it in the window when I'm around the police.

that's going to need bondo and respray. if your state requires front plate, i'd just keep it on there. it doesnt look as bad as people say it does.

and having your front plate on your sports car shows cops you're being a responsible citizen. that alone can earn respect from your officer and possibly turn a mild speeding citation to a warning.

Man good thing NV doesn't require front plates, I'd cry if I had to drill holes into my front bumper for a damn license plate.

Aren't the holes drilled in the black plastic part of the upper grille? Jut ge a carbon fiber insert from the Z store.

Yea the mount for the frame mounts to the upper grille plastic holes. But the actual screws to attach the plate to frame screw threw and cause vibration, indents in the bumper.

All, I got a license plate mount that screws into the tow hook receiver because I didn't want to drill holes in the bumper. The one I got is Stillen...

That's the one I had until the crash beam joined the pile of parts in my attic.
