Moved to DC.

 

Hey I also got a bracket similar to this.. it looks more homemade than that but I'll sell it you. I'll take some pictures of the bracket and post it here. I bought it for 20 bucks from ebay as what Yanki was talking about.... Since I'm not using it, i'll probably sell it for 5 plus shipping. Or you can probably make it homemade up to you.

BTW This is the bracket I have http://cgi.ebay.com/Scion-XB-XA-TC-F...QQcmdZViewItem

I'll post the pictures of the bracket that mounts to the lower grille and see if you can make it yourself.

 

a place in Hawaii called 808customs sells the hardware for like $15 shipped I think. Justr search for the thread

 

hey yanki what were the exact $3 parts you bought??

 

a 5/16 or 3/8" x 5-6" all threaded bolt for adjustment, welded to the steel plate. pre-drill steel plate to match license plate holes. big washers for support on the grille. total was around $3, if you know someone that can weld, just show him a pic and he should know the rest!

 

I was told that there is an $80 fine in California for missing front plate. I lowered and centered using machine screws and wing nuts by reaching behind grill from the top with the hood open.

 

Where exactly do I find the FAQ's? I'm new and I'm still learning what stuff means. But I need a mounting bracket for my front license plate and this is the only information even close to waht I'm looking for.

 

If you live in a state where it is illegal to have the fron tplate off, then it is also illegal to have the plate in your windshield. Also it is highly unlikely to have someone break into your car to steal your plate when they are easily accessible from the outside. Who would break into your car to steal a plate when they could just take the one off the back?!

 

Technically, having the plate behind anything is illegal, including glass. That's why you'll get a fix it ticket if you have a clear cover on the plate (in CA that's how it is). Also, think about the hazard of having a loose metal plate wedged inside your cabin, and you get into a collision that unwedges that metal plate... bye bye head...

 

Some people are so stupid that they will try to steal some FREE Cookies. LOL

 

Yeah and steal the gum right out of your mouth too!!!

 

hahaha this is funny!!

 

You can buy license plate relocator on ebay, something like the one in my avatar

 

washington state you have to have the front plate. but i have seen a few cars without them. don't know if they've been harrassed about it though. i've never had it on and i've driven onto post here at fort lewis with no hassle. but i have veteran plates so they probably let me slide.

 

I've gotten a no front plate ticket from a WA Trooper. So decided to put the plate on the bottom. It fits great and will not fall out with some big screws I just got tired of having to pop the grilles off to get it out for shows. Now I just have it in the window with suction cups...gotta find something to put around it so's I don't get decapitated:

 

Yeah, I hate when that happens.

 

im in NY and i have YET to see a corvette with a front plate, i drove my tC 2 days with out one and got pulled over

 

Nick did something similar to what Yanki did. He made some L-shaped brackets and screwed into the bumper along the top edge of the bottom grille. Even with the hardware removed you don't see the holes.
