It doesn't look good, but it's really not worth spending time, unnecessarily, getting pulled over when it could easily be avoided. Last edited by RDGR12; 03-13-2009 at 06:13 PM. |

Trick
I have never had a front plate and I just take the plate and attach it to the front bracket and throw it across the pavement face down. Keep it in the trunk and when you get pulled over, if they hassle you just show the plate (now scratched like it skidded across the pavement) and say that it fell off and you havent put it back on yet... has worked for me so far... And I have blacked out windows and taillights...

Since the drilled holes on in the black plastic portion of the bumper it should be too hard finding plugs for the holes even if you did mount the license plate holder. Bumper Plugs will not fit as they require 1/4" holes or smaller.

Front Plate
I've had an Audi A4 in Chicago with no front plate for a year and half now. I only got one ticket and that was when I left it parked on the street at a meter. (meter maids hate and are hated by all). Otherwise, I get all kinds of flak about putting the plate on the front by my wife and her Chicago PD dad. However, my rationale is this: It will cost me about $300 to put the plate on the front which is the same as 6 tickets ($50 a pop here). For now, it's cheaper to just take the rare ticket than to put the plate on. When I get 6 tickets, the cycle will just start over http://www.the370z.com/images/smilies/rofl2.gif
I get my 370z tomorrow (bye bye Audi) and I really don't want a plate on the front of that beauty. |
