ha! Michigan doesn't require plates on the front!
I'm sure those old 3 companies paid the state to not have the plates on the front...

or they just do it anyway to all incoming cars. they certainly didnt ask me.

you're required a front plate in CA, but i havent had one on any of my cars for the past 5 years. havent been ticketed, and was only hastled once. leave the bumper undrilled, and keep that ugly plate off.

I had to call the dealer the day before I got the car. I told them NOT to drill holes... and they didn't.

It doesn't fit...or at least it didn't fit on my '05. I, however, cut the plate to fit there. I hope that's legal.

it won't fit exactly in that space but there's about 1/4 inch of the bottom plate that will hang out. that's the only way i can do it because my bumper came undrilled even though oregon's law states that a front license plate is required. i hate it, it ruins the car, but that's the easiest way to put it on and/or to take it off.
