I got a car from Indiana where they only have a rear plate. I don't see any holes on the front bumper of my 2010 Jetta wagon. Do you have to drill them? Bob

You need to buy the front plate holder. These are installed by the dealer not at the factory. Your local dealer will stock these. Don't just mount the front plate to the bumper unless you're going for the ghetto look.

most dealers drill holes in fromt bumper and center the plate on the car. My dealer used zip ties and attached it to the grill just below the bumper. You dont need to get a frame from a dealer. any plate frame from auto parts store will work or order 2 TDICLUB.COM plate frame at the top of the page. the pennies he makes from the sale of these support the cost of maintaining this website from which you get a lot of free advise and info.

My state requires front plates too. I'm going to jinks myself by saying this now but I've had many cars/trucks over the time I've lived here and I've never put a front plate on. When I bought my JSW I told my dealer NOT to put a plate holder on the front, they did anyway and I was pissed! Anyway, I removed the plate holder and put some plugs in the holes. They don't look the best but they look WAY better than the plate holder!

When I picked up my new Sportwagen the dealer slapped his bare frame on the front bumper. It was not till later that I saw it was mounted off center and at an angle. I was pissed also. Lucky for them that the molded plate holder just covered the holes. The molded plate holder is a decent part that has tabs that locate.on the lower grill. The instructions say only to drill about a 1/4 into the bumper cover to avoid damage to the airbag sensors. I was also told this by the dealer. You could also use one of the holders that mount to your tow hook .

Looking For Answers To Your Front Plate Driving Worries?

HATE TO SEE BUMPER HOLES??? In some states, car owners are required to display their front license plate. This is something that some car owners hate, not because they do not want to display their front license plate, but the idea of drilling holes into the beautiful bumper of their car.  If you do not want to see your nice BMW bumpers drilled with holes, here is the solution to your problem… BMW No Holes License Plate Holder & Remote Powered License Plate Holder.

Now you can keep BMW street legal and have that front license plate displayed without drilling any holes in your beautiful BMW bumper. You will use the front tow hook mounting point to install the BMW no holes license plate bracket.

Installing BMW No Holes License Plate Holder is quick and easy. When you purchase the NO Holes LPB Kit, it includes all the things you need to put it together. To install, you will need a screw driver and wrench. Here’s how:

Step One: Simply remove the tow hook access cover from the front tow hook mounting port. Gently pull the plastic cap to remove it from your bumper.

Step two: Insert the tow hook adapter bolt into the tow point and use an adjustable wrench and socket to tighten it.

Step three: Install the bracket until it is secure and you can screw in the plate. It’s that simple.

You can easily do this because the BMW No Hole License Plate Holder comes with an instruction booklet.

When it comes to concealing your license plate from cameras, you might want to consider having a remote powered license plate holder. Installing BWM remote powered license plate holder will allow you to switch between displayed license plate and one that is concealed.

The BMW remote powered license plate holder will help you hide your license plate and beat the cameras on the streets to avoid traffic tickets and fines. Not only that, you are also protected from cops looking for suspicious car set ups. The license plate flips down and slide under the bumper and that’s it the license plate is out of sight. To display, the license plate slides out and flips upwards.

Installing this well-designed device is easy. Use screws to install the bracket mounts under the bumper. This may require you to drill two small holes for the installation.

No doubt, BMW No Holes License Plate Holder & Remote Powered License Plate Holder is the answer to your front plate driving worries.

Selling things on Facebook - Dodge Caliber SRT-4 Forums

Selling things on Facebook


Beware of selling things to "friends" on Facebook, had someone from this site hit me up on Facebook about a new Dodge Emblem I had decided to sell, sold it for $20 and hurried to ship it out that day, in my hurry I did not pack it well and it get scratched. so the buyer contacted me and I told him to send it back to me and I'd send out another and he agreed. I have the new emblem packed in bubble rap ready to go but have never recieved the original one back a week later only to go to buy something on e-bay and see he reversed the transaction and got his $20 back, and kept my emblem. what a douch!

So the moral of the story is, never let anyone send you money on Paypal as a personal, pay the money and be protected as even your "friends" are out to screw you!

Front Plate on LM002 - Lamborghini Forum

I was wondering if any of the LM owners (or anyone who may have a solution) could help me with getting the front plate put on... There is no bracket/holes, and I don't want to drill holes in the bumper or front guard...

If anyone has a DIY solution, I'd love to learn about it... My other option would be to get a 3M Dinoc Vinyl of the plate - but the ONLY approved vendor that Dubai Police accepts charges USD 150 for the service!!

Front licence plate

I'm the proud new owner of my first viper! Its being delivered this weekend and I can't wait!

how many of you put the front license plate on?

Of those that left it off, how often to you get ticketed/harassed by the law?

State v. Terrence T. Boyd, 2011AP1056-CR, District 2, 2/1/12

court of appeals decision (recommended for publication); for Boyd: Andrea Taylor Cornwall, SPD, Milwaukee Appellate; case activity

Traffic Stop – Failure to Display Front Plate 

Because Boyd’s car was registered in a state (Illinois) that issues two plates, car could be stopped for failing to display a plate on the front, in violation of § 341.15(1) (“[w]henever 2 registration plates are issued for a vehicle, one plate shall be attached to the front and one to the rear of the vehicle.”).

¶7        Now, having dispensed with Boyd’s main argument, we can get down to the business of interpreting Wis. Stat. § 341.15, titled “Display Wis. Stat.§ 341.15, titled “Display of registration plates” is a “law[] of this state providing for the registration of … vehicles” from which nonresidents who meet the Wis. Stat. § 341.40(1) criteria are exempt.  As we already pointed out, § 341.15(1) states that “[w]henever 2 registration plates are issued, one plate shall be attached to the front and one to the rear of the vehicle.”  (Emphasis added).  Given the legislature’s use of the word “whenever,”[2] § 341.15(1) unambiguously applies to all vehicles operated in Wisconsin, not just those that are also registered in Wisconsin.  We note that the very next subsection, § 341.15(1m), sets out requirements for “any registration decal or tag issued by the department.”  (Emphasis added.)  Obviously, if the legislature had wanted to limit § 341.15(1) to cars issued two plates in the state of Wisconsin, it could have done so by stating that “whenever 2 registration plates are issued by the department, one plate shall be attached to the front and one to the rear ….”[3]  Boyd’s argument essentially asks us to read that extra language into the statute, which is something we may not do.  See Burbank Grease Servs., LLC v. Sokolowski, 2006 WI 103, ¶¶24-25, 294 Wis. 2d 274, 717 N.W.2d 781.  We therefore hold that § 341.15(1) applies to all vehicles driven in the state of Wisconsin, not just those registered here.
