| Front plate attached through front grill?
With all my cars, I simply use some zlpties to mount the front plates onto the front bumper by looping it through openings in the front grill. Does anybody know if the 2012s have openings in the front grille to allow for this? This method also allows for easy removal if needed (car shows, etc). Zlpties are cheeeeeap  I am NOT drilling the front bumper. Thx. |  |  | | Sponsored Links | | Advertisement

The mounting bracket is held on via screws that screw directly into the front bumper...which is a big no no in my book. Not sure which bracket you have, but if it's OEM, it has to be through the bumper. just like this 
I'm just wondering if that grill opening below the front plates (in the above pic) has openings and slats to be able to loop zip ties through. | | | | | 04-17-2012, 03:38 PM | #5 (permalink) | | Co-Driver Join Date: Apr 2008 My Ride: TSX/09/Vortex Blue Posts: 181

front plates look like crap PERIOD, no matter where they hang. I'm just not ruining my paint or bumper. So I can either have it look like crap on holes on my bumper, or look like crap temporarily through zip ties and not harming my paint. I'll choose the latter. So to others out there, that's a yes, that the front grille has these openings to hang ties through? | | | | | 04-18-2012, 01:49 PM | #7 (permalink) | | Registered Member Join Date: Sep 2010 Location: Norwalk, CT My Ride: TSX/06/Nighthawk Black Pearl/Navi Posts: 239

Interesting, the dealer I got mine from didnt screw in the bracket it was held on through the back under the grill area. Idk weird to explain | | | | | 04-18-2012, 04:34 PM | #8 (permalink) | | 10 minute TSX Join Date: Oct 2009 Location: United States My Ride: 2006 TSX CGP 5spd Posts: 2,818

| He has a 2nd gen. Cant you just drill holes underneath the bumper opening so its not visible? Or zip tie it there if possible cause zip tieing it onto the grill would look terrible lol Sent from my Autoguide iPhone app | | | | | 04-19-2012, 12:36 AM | #10 (permalink) | | Registered Member Join Date: May 2009 Location: Socal 626 My Ride: 09 Grigio TSX Posts: 2,215

| Now that I have my car, I see that I can loop the cable ties in the grates of the grille. Case solved. | | | | | Today, 08:42 AM | #13 (permalink) | | Co-Driver Join Date: Apr 2008 My Ride: TSX/09/Vortex Blue Posts: 181
| the second gen has a mounting bracket that mounts to the grille. It doesnt damage the bumper at all. no need to zip tie anything. __________________
