front licience plate

i need to mount my front licience plate on. any DIY? i dont have the front plastic thing and i dont want to drill holes. The only way is zip tie?

there's no hole on the car's front bumper?
try mounting it behind the grille (in front of the radiator) i think it will be visible but discreet...

as long as all of the plate is visible they shouldnt really care.

just make sure that shit aint loose or then they might give you a hard time about it... other than that.. it should be all good.

asianspec rode his around like that for the longest time until last month when he finally decided to install his lic. plate mounting kit from autozone... ran him about $15 or so

try this, it's the bracket that holds the license plate on ( i have one on my car )
my advice, if you're gonna get it, is to put some type of foam or cushioning between the bracket and the bumper, that way if you take it off, there's no paint damage ( like there was on mine )





check out part number 5

yea, I was gonna say the original front plate bracket isn't drilled into the bumber, its mounted underneath and sticks out. You def. want to get something to fill the gap between the bumper and the plate bracket though, otherwise you will have scratches where is rubs.

You can purchase a bracket from acura that contours the front bumper

I bent my plates almost in half (only showing the #s) then redrilled the holes on the plate to match the ones under the bumper and just bolted it up. holds up great
