The mere thought of taking a drill to that front bumper makes my blood run cold. The car is too beautiful to mess it up with a front plate.

Why would you need to drill holes? The stock license plate mount goes underneath.

It does? There's no bracket on mine. Either way, on the bumper or in front of the radiator intake is just plain Fugly!

Just get a couple of L brackets and drill the holes on the inside of the bumper then you can take it off and on as you wish. as you can see i still get a lot of air flow.

Your bracket idea for an aftermarket bumper is perfect. If I had a modified looking car, I would run a front plate too, and take it off for car shows.

^P.s. i'm from michigan where front license plates don't exsist. I think it's dumb that this state has that many people running red lights that it has to badge the front of cars. Stop running red lights....idiots....Minivan just killed some baseball player for running a red light. It's rediculous.

This is Definitley illegal. I saw a website who sold these recently, and in small words on the bottom of the screen it said "Legal for off road use only" so my opinion is... either have a legit front licence plate, or dont have one at all

I HATE it when people jerk from lane to lane, expecting everyone to stay in their same spots.

Was it racing an RSX? Saw something similar on the 10 fwy (eastbound) a few weeks ago. Those dumbasses almost crashed into almost all the vehicles on the freeway (including my own).
