Unfortunately here in Canada, front plate is a must...

Anyone else in the same boat, what are you going to do?

I've seen Craigs customer license plates.. Nothing for 2013, and since it has the honeycomb in the lower grill, not sure how itll look..

Or maybe one of those universal license plate brackets, that slide under the front fascia..

Until I have something I guess I'll be plate-less

 

I bought the one that flips up. Even has a remote. But my LS splitter is too low and I feel like I would rip it off. So, plateless for me

 

Never!!!! Clarify: will I have a front plate

 

It's required here in Missouri too, but it's not something you'll probably ever be pulled over for. Because of that, I don't bother with it but I know that if I get pulled over for speeding, I'm also getting a $85 ticket for no front plate.

There's always the idea of keeping the front plate and mounting bracket in the trunk and if the cop asks, tell him you have it and just need to get it installed

 

How much was it, and how much lower does it hang up the car?

 

We are lucky we don't drive cars that the front plates completely ruin the look of....like the RX-8, Audi R8 etc. Front plates don't take anything away from the looks of our cars imo.

 

It does on mine

 

Front plates required in IL too.

There isn't and never will be one on the front. It's a risk I choose to take.

 

They're required here in Minnesota as well. If i had it my way I'd leave it off, BUT what really ticks me off is that when I picked up my car from the dealership they had already drilled and screwed the front plate bracket directly into the bumper!! Pisses me off, if I take it off I still have 2 big holes there. I can't believe they did that

 

It was a little less than $100 and it will hang about an inch an a half. Not too bad, but my splitter already scrapes on steep hills

 

I told them way before my car came, Do Not drill my front Bumper!

And it looks so much better without the plate

 

Show off!!!! LOL Congrats

 

I wonder if there is any good way to fill and paint the holes

 

Tron - the easiest way to conceal the holes would be to cover them with a license plate.

Or, just leave the holes like they are and if you get pulled over act surprised and say something like, "What are you talking about. I have a front plate." Then act really surprised and mad when you walk up and see that it's obviously been stolen by some ne'er do wells.

 

Someone made a thread about painted plugs you can use. A little pricey but they look good. I'll try and find it

Try bumperplugs.com

 

Thanks joe!

You can always try " I just got it back from the body shop and I am waiting on them to get a new bracket."

 

Ask Bill about his zip tie special

 

do the cops in so cal give you much trouble?

 

In the 500, never, but I have gotten 1 in my 27 years or so of driving. It was just a 10.00 fix it ticket then, but that was like 10 years

 

Depends on where you live! In Glendora they ticket for anything. Oc area not so much unless you are being an idiot. Then they'll tag on all the offenses they can. I have had tints on all my windows on all my cars, loud exhausts and never got pulled over.
