Front Plate?

JARblue · 05-03-2013, 09:41 AM

As mentioned, it is required in Texas. I don't like giving cops any reason to pull me over, so I installed it without the bracket. I just screwed the frame and plate directly into the black plastic piece, and I love that it doesn't project out in front of the car from the side view

I can't seem to find a side view photo, but here's a close up from the front of what I did.

I did just like you JAR. I never had one on the car when I was in Texas but they wouldn't pass my car for safety here in Hawaii without a front plate. I tried to zip tie onto the grill but they said it had to be "mounted." I wasn't about to argue with the tech so his jaw dropped when I asked for a drill and 2 screws. Went straight into the plastic piece as you did there and said "give me my f*ckin stickers." Signed off and I was on my way.

I always wonder if those people cover up their plates whenever they park their cars m4a1mustang likes this. __________________ 2011 370Z 6MT Sport Gun Metallic \| ARC \| CJM \| Ecutek \| FI \| Fujimura \| R2C \| SPL \| Stillen \| TWM \| Z1 \| ZSpeed \| Last edited by JARblue; 05-03-2013 at 03:42 PM.
