Front license plate - on the side?

by **Sap Z** » Wed May 24, 2006 8:36 am

i wanted to hook up the front plate on the left side of the bumper - given that i got a ticket for no plate in the f'in city!

are there any DYI's or suggestions on how to do it?

any pics would be apprecited.

Thanks

pretty much drill holes and screw away! A local auto shop can do them for your for $4 bucks or so, always remember, measure twice...drill once!

I did it myself when I cracked my bumper (to cover up the break)

Just use a drill and drill one hole, line up the plate and drill the second hole. Pretty easy...

Why on the side? Why not the middle?

cuz the middles dorky - or is the side too cheezy? since i'm not dropped.......

isnt there another way to put it on the side? i really dont want to drill holes..i already have two ugly holes in the center

LoL Ive gotten pulled over twice now for not having a front license plate. I still havent put one on. Well I did like a month after it happened and then I took it off again. I wouldnt worry abou it, but if you must just put it in the middle. Whe I see it on the side it reminds me of the ugly boxy cars in the 80's that rocked that.

haha same here I never put my front license plate on unless i'm going to the LAX. One time i got pull over twice in LAX the same day, and the second cop didn't give me a ticket because the first cop saw me and told the second one to let me go

I agree with Solorange, putting it on the side reminds me of the ugly boxy cars in the 80's. And you already have holes in the middle so put the plate there and cover em up.

if you already have holes...i think drilling two more defeats teh purpose! the only tag my solara's front bumper has ever seen was the new dealer advertisement tags from the dealership...i took those off the first day i got the car! KNOCK ON WOOD...i've been safe with the cops till now!

Not to mention some cars just are ment to have the plate in the middle if they got to have the license plate up front

its only good if you have a fmic, theres no point to have it on our cars.

bingo...if theres no intercooler, it would be damn foolish to move the license plate. plus, i think it looks tacky anyways.

fine......i just put it on the center

doublesided tape should work if you dont want to drill

put in on your dash, and when you get pulled over tell the cops your going to by the screws and mounting bracket to put it on.
