I live in illinois and I am required to have a front lisence plate. My xb 3.0 is comming in this week and I wanted to know if holes are typically drilled in the front bumber cover? The reason I am asking is because I would like to avoid holes in my front bumper cover.
I saw a pic of an xb 3.0 here in a recent thread and they guy has his plate mounted under the main bumper/center of the bumper cover, on the mesh looking area.

What options do I have for installing the front lisence plate?

Thanks for your help.

Eight08customs makes a bracket. But you better notify your dealer first. Many will just drill without saying anything. You can also get them off of ebay.

 

Heh...

 

Looks like we posted at the same time, just barely beat ya.

 

That was fast and just what I needed.
Thanks for saving me some time.
Ill call my dealer tomorrow and make sure they do not drill!

Thanks once again.

I got my bracket from eBay.

When calling your dealer telling them NOT to drill the holes, tell them to keep their dealer sticker off your new car.

 

eight08customs and guy on e-bay (mlum_80 are the same guy Marshall. I guess that covers it, mahalos

 

Got mine on ebay also. look at the picture on my profile and you can see the license. There are alreay drill outs where the plate would go in the center of the bumper. You can see them if you look close. I basically had to drill two holes in the bottom lip of the bumper. Good Luck

 

I made my own bracket.All it is are a couple of long bolts, fender washers,nutsand a piece of alum. stock. Cost a few dollars at Home Depot.I painted mine black so it doesn't show up as much.
