Please don't laugh: How the heck do I get the front plate mount on?

Yeah, I know. The car looks like ass with the front plate on, but I got stopped today for my lack of a front plate. I have the mount (I got it with my car) but I have no effin' clue how to get it on. Can any of you guys point me in the right direction?

I think I know where it goes (I think), I just don't know how to attach it. I can't find any obvious way to attach the mount to the front of the car. :cop:

I got a ticket for no front plate a few weeks ago. while I was parked damn meter maids

It was $85!!!!

I paid it, because it would've cost me more to take off work and challenege it, but I'm not putting the front plate back on. They can

I actually did look. I didn't see the spot, but when I read the answer, I was able to feel the little spot where it goes.

You gotta get the mounting kit for the license plate. You can get it through acura, but they'll probably rape you for it. Figure about 25 bucks or so. It attaches under the front bumper to existing screws, then just screw your license plate to that. I got pulled over for not having the front plate either. Its pretty easy and self explanatory when you have the mounting kit.

I mounted mine up-side-down so that it doesn't scratch the bumper. Hate that front plate!
