Clean Front License Plate Setup I just got smog ref'd yesterday, and the cops only reason for pulling me over was having no front license plate. And this bastard said he would be looking for my car from now on so I'd better change it (this guy was a real *****, be happy you don't live in California)
So anyways, I want to put a license plate up front so I don't get big tickets for petty BS anymore, What's the cleanest look to putting a plate on the front of a Firebird/Trans Am
Thanks

I've got the non-motorized version, was only $50 from a local Corvette shop.

Instructions tell you to drill into the underneath of the bumper, which I know is a problem for some people, but some industrial double-sided tape should do the trick, just be careful not to scrape the front bumper or you risk tearing the plate off.

damn. sucks for you. i haven't had a license plate up front for 4 years and no issues with it from anywhere in
the bay. what are the odds you're gonna see the *** again? if you'll likely see him, then i guess you should do
something. if you don't really think you'll see him again, i'd take my chances without it.
-what actually happened? ticket? warning? nothing but words?
-what do you have up front now? is it just the empty hole, or do you have the license plate filler bird and all? if
you just have the empty hole, it is very easy to look at the car and realize, "he has no front license plate", where
as when you have it all filled and painted body color, you don't really notice that anythings missing, so you're less
likely to get hassled for it.
food for thought...
