Front license Plates

I agree with bimmerfamily2010 - genius! We get requests all the time on our site for mounting options without drilling. I'll have to look into it. One option I have heard that works is some industrial strength Velcro on the back of the plate or frame but I don't know which is worse - holes in your bumper or industrial strength adhesive.

Oh heck ... I'll wander out with my Droid and if you'll pardon the dead bugs covering my bumper I'll go get a picture

Ive lived in Texas and Colorado and both require front license plates, however none of my cars have ever had front license plates. I can honestly say I've had 2 (parking) tickets for no front plate in bout 20 years of driving. So on the occasion I do get the out of the ordinary ticket, its money well spent since my car looks soo much better w/o a front plate!

I just bought my car from Florida where they aren't required to have front plates, so they're isn't a mounting bracket. I live in New York where front plates are required, but I don't want to have holes drilled into my bumper. How many of you New Yorkers don't have front plates? Do you get pulled over often?

Illinois requires a front plate but I have none on. I don't even have drill holes for it. I have been driving like this for years without incident. The fact is that when a cop sees a nice car with no front plate they leave you alone. If you were in a beater and didn't have it, you'd get pulled over. Sad but true.

It was 'only' a damn meter maid so it wasn't a fix-it ticket from the police fortunately. But the fine is $105. There was a thread for a permanent-looking temporary bracket thing I saw on here a couple months ago that I'll look into cause if I do fix it, I'll just have to pay $10, whereas if I would have gotten a ticket from the police there's no way out of it except for fixing it. Gotta love California!
