Just drive around without one. Most cops could care less, and even if you do get ticket for it, it's only like $35. You could even take a pic of it on your car and contest the ticket if it was worth your time.

I have the Bell license plate adjustable mounting bracket on my lower grille. It looks great! Ask if you want application pics.

Just drive without the damn thing. That's what I say to anyone concerned about their front plate. I have been without mine the entire time, and in LA of all places. I have only had one ticket for that, but I keep a screwdriver and my spare plate in the trunk just in case. A $10 fix-it ticket for having a clean looking ride is a small price to pay.

I got got it at my local AutoZone for around $14. In addition to the kit and depending on your application, you may need to buy a couple of 2 inch bolts, 1 1/2 inch washers and lock nuts.

Correction on my last post. I actually used 1 1/2" bolts and 1 1/4" washers.

TRUST me, you DONT want to move to PA just for a plate tag.. there are many more things that suck here, - then compared to maryland where I used to live. I drive from Bradenton florida, and UP UNTIL the state line (pa) which i think is around 1,000 miles.. only passed 3-4 troopers/cops PERIOD. I get to my freakin town, and pass like SIX within a 12 mile radius...
When I first moved here, I got a speeding ticket for 40mph in a 35mph zone, and I showed the officer my license, and I just bought my house, and was here for like 2 weeks... he wouldnt give me a break, with a perfect driving record.. they are ALL ****** here.

PA=SUX, I cant wait to buy another house somewhere else.

i'll stick to illinois lol, and look at getting one of those brackts.... and in d-town its dumb to go without the front plate...... when i had my tags on i had a "dub" plate and cover on the front and cops were quick to turn around and start following until they saw i had temp tags, and was worse once i took it off before i got my plates in.

Didn't get any holes drilled in mine, I'm always hearing how CT is going to start enforcing the law but i've driven without a front license plate for 5 years before the TC with none on my saturn and never heard a thing

Mine came with the holes already drilled. I wish it didn't but it wasn't my choice.

With the help of locating the bracket from Imperial, I finally put my front plate on.
