Default No Front License Plate Citation!

I just got pulled over last night and the cop gives me a ticket for not having a front license plate! I guess she had a boring night and didn't have anything better to do.

Anyone have an easy way to attach the front plate without drilling holes just to get the ticket signed off?

Thanks

Until the next time... I would, and did, just bite the bullet and install a proper front plate with the Porsche bracket. Nobody cares about the holes.

I live in NY. It's mandatory to have a front (and back) plate. I still do not. Though I anticipate a ticket at some point. I probably should get something.

Default Stop! Don't use the standard bracket!

Here's your options:

A) 3M All Weather double-sided tape - looks good, easy, no holes...

B) Skene Design - www.skenedesign.com/FPBracket/index.shtml - more complicated but nice, heavy duty, requires two small invisible holes...

Www.usmillworks.com. It attaches to your tow hook hole. No drilling, can take off easily if you want. I highly recommend it.

Thank you for all the info. (This forum is awesome!)
I just ordered the US Millworks mount. I like that they have a white one which might make it a little easier for me to live with.

Nice, I think you'll like it. It definitely beats getting pulled over.
