Front Plate W/O drilling holes?

Completely agree. I'm going to return mine this week. Just bought it. Put it on for 30 seconds and off it went lol.

I got pulled over this morning too for not having the front license plate!

I have had the car for almost two years now and one time I was pulled over for no front plate.. It was when I was omw to get my front bumper wet sanded and polished after it was just repainted... i swear i was literally pulling in the body shop when the MTA (railroad cop) policeman decided to pull me over for no front plate.. He than bitched about my tint, my exhaust which i said was stock and he believed me, and the main reason was my plate.. I explained that I was on my way to the shop that is right there and pointed at it, to get my bumper wet sanded/polished so I have not had the chance to install it yet.... He than says that is " A lame excuse at best" ... I swear... A few minutes later he comes back and hands me a ticket for front plate .... I had several other encounters with cops and none complained of my plate nor did I ever get any other tickets..

The worst part about this all was I had no idea he was an MTA cop, my girlfriend of a LONG time has a cousin I routinely see at holidays, family gatherings, who is also a MTA cop and a long time co-worker of the cop who wrote me. I Realized afterwords and told him Sean got a good laugh out of you writing me a ticket, and said he "wasn't surprised' Her cousin literally told me to tell him this b/c he is known as the #1 writer.. He than goes you are supposed to tell me you know him before hand, bla bla... W/E though, Its one ticket, I will pay it and hopefully it doesn't happen again.

I'm gonna wait until I get two strikes before I bite the bullet, But IMO the tow hook bracket doesn't look right to me.. I will be going with the motorized one, and dremel out a section of the sports lip to make it fit...

Nissan / Ferrari License Plate Kits

These are better than Stillen's and they fit the NISMO and the regular 370's as well.

You know, that statement does make you sound like a spoiled brat. I use to think that way when I was younger with my 240sx, but the law is the law. Same goes for speeding and reckless driving. It's not like it's a new law that recently came out and this is a very well known issue.

I don't like that law, but I do understand why. In the Law Enforcement's point of view, a front license place makes a lot more sense in order to identify the vehicle instantly. The only we to get around it is if we have some form of GPS/BLUETOOTH so that the police could identify "this Z belongs to Johnny." I mean, what happens if someone stole your car and you have Lo-Jack, how could they identify this gunmetal Z is yours and not the wrong persons'? Otherwise, this is what we have to work with for now.

As to why $75, there's always room for competition. You have a right to either buy their product or buy someone else's or create your very own bracket. I'm pretty sure raw materials costs no more than $15, but making exact thread to create the thread on a bar/pipe of metal takes a lot of work and time. Lastly, I don't like how it looks as a daily, but if you need to take photo-shoots, I love how all I need is a monkey wrench and spend only 10 seconds removing the thing w/ license plate in tacked without scratching the bumper.

Also, you live in Orange County. You, of all people, should know how stupidly expensive a fix it ticket costs now.

I think of it like this. The ticket will be upwards of $100. The bracket is upwards of $100. The bracket would be a good buy, especially if you have a cool specialty plate like me

My cars will never have front plates. Ticket -- zip tie -- sign off -- remove.

I thought there was a Nissan front license plate bracket designed for the 370Z with a notch in it to fit around the hood and that attaches to the plastic fascia at the top of of the grill. The fascia has two small indentations where the bracket screws can be attached. This set up is also centered as opposed to the off center Stillen tow hook mount.

RCK- there is. im using one. it looks fine for me but since it looks like an ordinary plate on ordinary cars, i might get that mower guy's one to shift it out of place to make it look more aftermarket.

and physically remove the plate when taking picts.

Synack

I'll take pics in a bit. It's pretty ballin with my vanity plate.

either this mower guy's kit is hard to install or synack is at his car and forgot to take snaps...

Synack

I was at work LOL. Now I'm home. Pic inc....



Its 6 ways adjustable. So you can have it more towards the center of the bumper if you wanted, and you can have it higher up if you want. I like mine JDM'd so I put it all the way to the left and all the way down.
