Front License Plate Mount [Merged 6-7]

[Meklo_4G63t]

I did the window thing and the cops pulled me over twice in one day. Bremerton is to small of a town for that

hmmm alright what about mounting it JDM style on the pass side of the bumper cause i still want my plymouth engravement on the front bumper to show. what did you guys use to mount the plate? i have zip ties or i can drill it back into the bumper

 

[frew]

you want it drivers side so cars coming down the road can see it...aka cops. Also its evo style not jdm...you drive an "american" car of sorts .

 

[crazy_1gb]

ahh ok . i'll mount it somewhere it just needs to look alot more clean and not OEM or ### looking .

Pretty self explanatory title. I live in Illinois and it's "Mandatory ", says officer Manly(that's was his real name), to have a front licenses plate. I got off with a warning. He was kind of a douche. Pics welcomed.

doesnt your front bumper cover has 2 holes for your license plate?

 

[nyTalonTsi]

Or if not, is it illegal to put it on your dash, where its viewable through the windshield.

 

[GSXSixteenG]

I put mine in the windshield. Never had any problems.

I suggested doing that, Officer Manly's response was, "mmhmm, DONT DOOOOO THAT!!". He really elongated the word "DOOOO" that much.

Thanks, Ian

I drilled small holes and screwed the plate right onto my bumper.

Not sire I'll have to check.

Not sure I'll have to check.

if not just drill 2 holes and put it, now cops are just looking to give ticket man, dont let that happen to you.

My friends got pulled over with the plate in da window. Plate has to be a certain height the judge said. I don't have a plate on my dsm since I only use it for racing but I made sure my daily turbo honda had one on infront since I got tickets for no front plate.

The guy i bought my gsx from had drilled 2 holes right in the front, now i have to fill those holes up. Glad PA doesn't need a front plate.

Argh!!!!!

1gs have a braket that I have two laying around. Iowa is a front plate state and mine is sitting on my work bench in the garage. I refuse to put it on and only been bothered once. The police must be pretty bored if they pop you for no front plate.

At autozone they have a mounting kit that is 10 bucks. I bought it as i didnt want to drill holes in the front of my bumber. It is totally universal and it has two rotating points and all hardware.

 

[dsmfa9nutter]

If you don't want to drill holes, use really long zipties. I have my front plate on but it's bent to hide everything but the mounting holes (redrilled to fit stock mounting holes for the bracket that used to be there, now it lays flat against the bumper) and the numbers.

 

[Rob10_99]

If your required to have a front plate(and get harrassed about it quite a bit) I would put it on there, after you scratch and scuff the crap out of it.
Don't put it in front of your fmic though!

Just leave it off, I keep mine in the windshield. Next time officer Manly stops you... ask him WHY does the license plate need to be in the front if the only thing you see on a DSM is the ass???

 

[DSM1G90]

Stock brackets can be got from a yard for pennies. I haven't ran a front plate for years in Idaho (since DSM's look good without that plate breaking up the smooth front look for a 1G).

But lately, they've been getting a little testy since I use the excuse that I just repainted my front bumper cover (which I really did and I do keep the front plate under my seat) and haven't put the bracket on yet.

..so I remounted the front bracket and got the plate and frame back on.

front if the only thing you see on a DSM is the ass???

Cops want to see the front plate numbers to match description of any offenders if they pass you in the opposite direction. Cars without front plates are harder to get an accurate description when being seen in front. Numbers/Letters are easy to remember.

I hope your not justifying their stupid rules. Licenses plate on the front bumper is about as stupid as no tint.

Drill your holes off to the side.
