I live in Califas and yes, I have to have the liscense plate up front. So here's what I'am doing with my billet grille I cut a rectanglur piece off the middle of the billet grille and as soon as the rain is over I will install the grille. I have seen some cars in Cali with the front plates to one side or the other and I figure why not put it in the middle so I'am and holding it in place it looked good. A rotorzip was very helpful in this project. I just hope I don't have to take off the front fascia when installing the grille.

sounds good man. Are they really strict about that sort of thing in Cali? I have heard from a lot of people on here from Tex and NY who said that they keep theirs off and never run into trouble. I'm glad we don't have to have a front plate here in Oklahoma.

I've got friends who have gotten pulled over for not having a front liscense plate so i will be putting in the plate, less worries for me.

Why don't you just zip-tie it to the grille?

Because the middle of the billet grille is not flat, so I cut a rectangular piece from the middle so the liscense can sit flat.

I installed the grille and no need to remove the front fascia at all, I just used screws to hold it to the old grille. I didn't paint the original grille since I have to make some adjustments and since I used phillps screws I can paint it at a later time. I will post pictures soon. Billet grille looks good, cleaned up the front.

Heres some pictures. I would have taken better pictures but I have yet to replace my digital camera so I had my brother take a few pictures. The pictures dont tell the story but the grille looks better in person. And yes, I have been told I messed up the grille with the liscense plate but I don't want to give the cops an excuse to pull me over. And I still haven't gotten around to postition the liscence plate correctly and touch up the grille, but here are the pics.

Looks good. Anybody else did this to their front grille?

only reason you have to have a front plate is so cops can target you more easily with laser, and get ur tags more easily if you are speeding towards them.
