So.. i finally got pulled over and i dont feel like being hassled all the time... sooooo time to find a bracket for my car. I am NOT drilling holes in my bumper at any costs so i'd like to hear input and get a few links on how you guys have mounted your license plates!!!
i see that theres a small mount looking hole in the plastic piece of the bumper.. help?

 

Why is your bumper shaved like that? If you had them shaved the holes, why didn't you have them completely smooth that thing out?

In your case I would put back the holes for the plates where it's suppose to be.

 

well heres what i did with mine

in ILLINOIS

liscense plates must bee 12" off the ground

but no higher then 5 feet

has to be in a secure location

MINE IS

on my passenger side vanity mirror

fits all regulations

Leave it up til it needs to be shown

then just push the mirror down and viola

 

^dunno about va, but in idaho it specifically has to be attached to the front bumper. having it anywhere inside the car doesn't count.

 

i love it how i did it!

 

previous owner did it...

i dont want to drill the holes in the bumper.

as far as putting it in the window visor..... thats asking to be pulled in VA

 

i think you're going to have to drill into the bumper, but if you do it right it'll look clean and stock.

over here in washington, front license plates are a joke, it's required but you'll see people here and there without them. it's all on the cop, but driving a honda in no street racing zones is just asking for it.

 

cops are dicks here to

ive been pulled over 1ce in a year and i just tell the cop new front end/or it fell off and it will be on within the week

just drive with the vanity up and when a cop pulls u over pull it down

 

go to EBAY and buy license plate relocation bracket, thats the way i have it set up and i have no problems with cops or anything.

HOPE THIS HELPS

 

i still dont understand how the little mounting bracket on the bumper would work though.
see the part under where the plate should mount?


and heres what password jdm has for the jdm front

well, if you buy the relocation bracket you just drill two holes under the top part of the opening of the grill when ever you take the bracket off you wont ever see the holes.

Or just drill holes in the factory spot put some foam behind the plate so it doesn't scratch your paint and there ya go!!

 

i got the JDM front end as well, and i got that ebay bracket. i can tak some pix 4 you.
pm me with your email and i will send my pix to you on how i mounted it

 

I used the ebay bracket also in combination with the license plate angler

 

Dont get those ebay plate brackets. there pieces of trash an will bend and weaken easily. The PW:JDM piece looks much more rigid.

 

im trying out the oem one from acura... hopefully it fits. its supposed to mount on the little bracket peice in the grill... so we will see. i kinda like that grey teg with the flares. gotta space those rears out tho

 

yeah theyve been spaced out , havent had a chance to take new pics.

 

woo no holes!! used the little bracket under there and didnt pay a bajillion dollars from pwdjm!


used the oem setup from acura..
