TomoHawk Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 Any suggestions on mounting a license plate on the front? Only thing I can think of is drilling a couple screw holes in the bumper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 Doesn't your bumper have those little tabs that come down from the bumper? I guess you could always weld in some L-shaped brackets for the plate. I wouldn't drill the actual bumper. Owen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 Or you can mount the plate in the front window with suction cups. I'd hate to drill a bumper or clean bodywork. Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 Hmmm, one of the good things with my move, AZ = no front license plate needed. I like that. Kali should do it, no cop runs wants and warrants off a front plate anyway, they can't read it, its a waste of resources (well inmates isn't a problem, plenty of those) . They never look good on most cars. Bad, bad... Regards, Lone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 320Zeven Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 I f you have strict front plate rules like we do out here in cali, then all i can say is if you must, you must. little hint in japan the streetracers out there mount there front plates on a hinge or to so that at high speeds it folds up and can save you from photo radars and complaining neghbors hehe very JDM too... compliments my theme..

Owen Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 That thing only works at so many mph though, good for freeway radar cameras but not for neighborhoods etc. I guess you could always play with the spring to make it easier to move... I'm in Cali too and the cops are anal! On my CRX, the plate was at a 45-60 degree angle and they gave me a fix it ticket for it! They said it had to be straight up and down.

Guest VertexZ Posted July 20, 2002 Share Posted July 20, 2002 Just buy a couple of L brackets from a hardware store and bolt them to the underside of the bumper and attactch the plate to these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomoHawk Posted July 22, 2002 Author Share Posted July 22, 2002 Here's what I did: Got a plastic license bracket and glued it into the front of the front bumper with 'Goop' aka 'shoe goo.' Then I put some big cable-ties around it and the bumper. Then screwed the plate on. The glue keeps it from slipping and the cable ties keep it from blowing off.
