That would suck to have to drill holes into your bumper and ruin your car to secure a front license plate--what a STUPID law.
Can't the people of California do something to repeal this law? It basically forces folks to disfigure their cars.

Texas Has the same law, although when I lived in Austin I ran w/o the front, and was never called on it. Probably only matters if you are stopped for some other infraction.
I wonder if industrial strength double-sided tape would hold the front plate bracket on?

I know someone that got pulled voer for not havin a front license plate (not in this state) and the cop went n got duct tape from his car n told the driver "get to taping" he literally taped the front lisnse plate to the front bumper and off he went. would leave a bad mark when your takin it off tho =\ and of course you would have to check every now n then for loose taping

its actually mounts, when i moved to PA from jersey (jersey needs front plates, PA doesnt), i questioned myself how to take the plate off, then i figured, its actually a hook that goes through the lower grill (or w/e thats called) and under the lip, at least this was for the Honda Pilot. call Honda or sumthin and ask for a front license plate mount/bracket, they should know what your talkin about

maryland has the same law. if youre lucky you can get the plates BEFORE they put them on the car and just keep it in your front window, or somewhere in the area. i plan on buying a new front bumper and putting mine in the window when i have a couple hundred burnin a whole in my pocket...

Here in Georgia you don't need a front license plate yet the dealer put one in w/ their name and phone number on it anyway. It's like I am forced to advertise for them. I am now looking for custom plates to replace that dealer ad thing. they already have their name on the rear license plate frame. maybe i should just go ahead and tell them i will stick their name all over my car in exchange for a free car.
The only thing good about a front license plate is that since i cannot see the nose when I park in tight spaces it somehow protects my front bumper from getting scratched (i assume).
BTW, can I remove the front license plate though w/o makign the front looking bad? will it leaving 2 holes on the bumper? Is there anyway to cover it up?

My car looks stock but has illegal written all over it. No front plate, front window tint, and HID's. If I got pulled over at night I could get a fix-it for all three, but luckily I've been okay so far. I hated the front bracket from the dealer.
