Haha yup thats right. ya CA requires front plate and especially if the cars going to have 15% tint... VERY DARK one less excuse for the copper to pull me over. I can install it myself... its just a 2 drills but I dont want to drill the bumper... any other way to attach it? drill from underneath? Velcro?

Double-sided tape might work best. I hear that's how some of the European folks put theirs on as well.

Ya... hummm hope its stong enough to stay... but if you think about it if I'm going to leave the plate on might as well drill it... Plus if I try to remove the tape it might destroy the clear bra.

My dealer uses it for the loaners and it works perfect, they never had a problem with it.

Yep.
They don't know who will buy the used car one day and therefore they don't know how big the license plate will be. So they use double sided tape on the loaners.

Hahahah what big stick on the windshield? You mean to the right?? the yellow one? its a long pole to squeege the second floor windows after washing them.

Clean the garage? FORGET IT!
