For those of you who live in a state where its illegal to not have a front plate, do you have it mounted anywhere else besides where the dealer drills the holes?
When i got my tC I asked my sales lady to not have the holes drilled b.c i didn't want them through the front bumper.
Does anyone have any kits or DIY on alternative spots to mount the plate?

Thanks.

There's a link in the Scion FAQ website (see sticky) that directs you to a website that sells mounting brackets. They attach to the grill so you don't have to drill holes. I bought one, but I'm waiting for my plates to come in, heh.

 

Its illegal in MD, but you'll never see a plate onvthe front of mine, some cars are just not ment to have them. Anyways, the MVA here can assign wavers, all you have to do is apply for one, then it's legal!

 

 

I know its a newb question, but is it against the law to just put on ur dash wen ur driving and then hide it so so dumb a$$ dosent break into my nice tC to steal my license plate.

 

I don't think its illegal, but if its not clearly visable to a cop, he could pull you over just to be a, well a cop, you know how some of them go...

 

In Texas it IS illegal to put it in the front window and they will treat it as a case of no front license plate. I know two people who received tickets for no front plate even though it was in their front windshield.

 

well in Chicago its illegal to not have a front license plate but my friends still do so.. they don't even put it on the dash.. but as long as its visible from the front its fine.

No bumper holes! i can pretty much mount it any where on my grill!



Some 1 posted a while back and said a law would pass in september for not having to have the front license plate in TEXAS! IDK if its passed or if even was tru? Havent heard nothin yet?

 

I seriously don't mean to offend you or anything but that has to be the dumbest sht I have ever heard...

WELLL. I think it would be more unlikely for someone to break into your car Just to get some shtty lisence plate which he could find on the back of your car....
omg

 

thanks for all of your replies. Yanki, is that the mounting bracket that is in the stickys in here? or did u do that yourself or buy it somewhere? that looks real nice. If you have a link can you post it or if not where you bought it? thanks

 

btw, slick tC munch.

 

nah, my dad welded it! ebay has some but their going for like $20 shipped! which is some bull cause all the supplies that we bought for mine was totalled out to $4. So if you know someone that welds, have them just look one and they should pretty much know how to make it! its better than the bumper holes cause i can mount it n e where on the grill!

 

Thank god in NC.... u only have to have the license plate on the back... it keeps the tC looking so fresh and so clean in the front.

thanks again for all of your replies abd help! im going to see if anyone can help me out w. welding or ill get one of the kits.

 

Alright, I was going to take mine off, but I just bought some chrome black Scion frame plates, so I'm keeping it.

Now, what i want to ask to Munch. Those headlights are sick, are those overlays, or did you do those yourself, and I want to know how to do those, please tell me how.

I didn't know you could request not to have holes drilled into your front bumper.. I would've asked for that but now I have two ugly drill holes that seem to attract dirt around it.. anyone know how to seal these up at least?

 

I mounted mine in a box on the shelf in the garage.

 

They are smoked overlays from rockblocker.com

 

I recently moved from a State that doesn't have a front license plate to a State that requires one.
How do I mount a front license plate on Scion xA?

Please help.
