Holes in Front Bumper? Question about License Plate Holder

vipor · 10-03-2009, 04:03 PM

On my Nismo you can see 2 small roughly 1/8" indentions in the front of the bumper. My genious intuition tells me that is where the plate adapter goes, lol.

There has been some talk about people using the front tow hook adapter to hold a license plate instead of butchering your bumper.

I have done that, and removed it. It is not center like the 350z so it just looks...wrong.

Eh, I have it on mine - you get used to it (and it's better than drilling the holes in the bumper). Here's a photo that shows the whole front of the car with the plate holder installed:

Mine was not drilled from the dealer.Plate was in plastic in back storage area.So I never installed nor do I intend to.
Have not had a problem here in NJ so far even though it is required.
Guys in corvettes have been driving around for years without a front tag and it takes a real dickhead of a cop to pull you over.
Not that we don't have some dickheads but for the most part they are real cool when it comes to petty things like that.Worst case scenario is a warning and at that point let your conscence be your guide!
