Default NEED HELP ASAP!!!

Can someone please help? I have my driving test 2morrow and I don't have my front license plate mounted, the dealer didn't drill the holes and I didn't realize my test was coming up this quick. And since the service department @ the Toyota dealers are closed today I couldn't get it done. So I'm stuck, should I ziptie the license plate to one of the grilles? If so where at? Or drill the holes and use some tiny screws?? I don't wanna drill in the bumper sooo. Can someone help me out PLEASE?? I thank you b4 hand. Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

Well looks like can disregard my post. I drilled the holes in the bumper me and my mom were fueding over this whole thing. I had wanted to get the 808 customs bracket and she said it'll look ghetto about me doing the zipties. Man I'm mad. And I was hurting as I drilled into the bumper. I wish I coulda zip tied it. Oh well. At least I can say I did it myself.

Something that would look a little more permanent would be using long toggle bolts through the grill. Some people call them butterfly nuts with bolts. Could be easily removed when you decide how to mount it.

It is illegal to zip tie the plate. It is a technicality, but it is supposed to be bolted on. I wish you had gotten the bolts at Home Depot and bolted through the grill--but at least you can use your car for your test. Good Luck!!!

You could have gotten some L brackets at Lowes and ran screws up through the bottom of the lip. The bolted it using the bottom holes of the plate.

hahah yeah I know!! I most definitely appreciate it though I'm not complaining about a thing. I'm still in shock a little that I have it and I've had for 3 weeks!! My mom rocks!!! Me and my mom put this whole thing behind us so now, happy modding for me!! Must_tang50, they said that I needed 6 months AND a day and my mom called the DMV 4 times to verify that I could have it on the day the appointment was made for and I got there early and everything and had all my stuff in hand and ready then the guy said I couldnt take it. Oh boy was I ____ed and the same thing happened to my friend too. They need to post it somewhere that says 6 months and a day.
