I just bought a StrutKing front plate relocator and I went outside to see where I could put it on the front end... but there's like a bunch of plastic bumps on the top of the bottom on the right side and left side...

could someone post pictures of an 02/03 relocator on the left or right side? I didn't see any pictures from behind the plate on the left or right side...

i know what you mean by those lil humps underneath the bumper...just screw it wherever it needs to be screwed to..its not going to fall off..i ended up screwing one of the brackets to one of those humps..it will be fine

rattmann316

i never owned a front plate... thankfully

If you have the plate holder you can just flip that over and screw the screw back in and bang you can see the sexiness of the front bumper. There is a DIY on here for it somewhere.

Gfaze

A DIY? All you have to do is unbolt the plate from the holder, unbolt the holder, turn the holder upside down, line it up with the holes, bolt it back up, re-mount the plate and presto, you're done. Not really much to it.

PD FTL..

I know I did that... it looks kinda ugly... makes the car look it has a buck tooth imho. so i took it off. but i want a vanity plate and want to show it off :P

CJITTY

LMAO! thank goodness for Georgia not requiring front plate!!!

Can you do the old "keep the plate by your seat and throw it in the front window for the po-po's or when parking"?

where i live front plate in window is no-no too. Gotta be on the bumper of the car. Thing is the Benz and beemers can run no front plate because they dont want to drill holes in there bumper. Friend has a benz and had for about 8 years and never got pulled over..

jjashaa

iTrader: (23)

actually, bmw/mercedes or not.. you still require one in CA

you should kno that.. my friend didn't have one for her 3 series.. had one of those bmw logo plates and after 2 years.. she got one

jjashaa

iTrader: (23)

jus cuz you don't wanna drill a hole in your bumper doesn't mean you don't have to run one...

my friend with the EVO IX bought his car right when it got off the transporting trucks..
workers didn't even get a chance to drill holes for the plate....

next thing you kno.. he got a ticket and went to his dealer and got the plate installed...

Flipster23

iTrader: (15)

I mean yea i know your suppose to run it but out where im at seems like the cops dont care about the benz and beemers but everyone else has to have one on.. Like i said my boi has a benz for 8 years no ticket at all.

jjashaa

^

its like that here too.. i've even had a cop pull up to me and stuff.. nothing.. its either you get lucky or you don't thing..

4 years and strong minus the retarded cop going around the mall getting EVERYONE.. atleast it was wrong make and model..

hahaha thats the good thing about having Honda Inspire on your car

iTrader: (1)

Didn't work for me.. bolts aren't long enough. Are you guys bending the plastic or something? I remember at a meet, I talked to a guy that did it.. and he said he heated up the plastic to make it bend in order to get the bolts to securely fasten in.

i had to take my front plate off. got tint ticket that said honda _____. honda ftw.

keep it in the car and if u get pulled over say that u just fixed your car from a fender bender and are waiting for the plate holder and hardware to come in

^I'm debadged... But a cop that pulled me over knew what my car was... knew my ASPEC wheels... and said it looked good lowered. lol
Def carry around the plate.

Since I got a new bumper, forwhatever reason, I can't get the license plate mount bolts into the bumper all the way... So that's my semi-valid excuse.

I love how our cars looks with no front plates, but in NY its a risk that isnt worth much probably say about $100+ or so lol not sure but check my threads, i got a pic with my plate to the side......

Gfaze

My sis has one of those BMW vanity plates in the front too. The car didn't have a front plate when she bought it and she's never had issues. Cops usually leave you alone unless they have nothing better to do.

Not in California, the front license plate nazis. I've had mine sitting in the front window passenger side and a cop pulled me over. He said for CA it specifically has to be BOLTED to the bumper. Not double stickie taped. Not glued. BOLTED. AAARRGGH!

Added info: BTW, the above vehicle wasn't the TL, it was my DC5..which was two cars prior to the TL.

BTW, when I first bought this car it didn't have a front plate at all. When I got new plates issued I had the plate, yet again...on the front window passenger corner. I was parked on city streets and got nailed YET AGAIN for no "valid plates" shown. Damn. AGAIN.

Because I didn't feel like buying the license plate bracket I ended up doing this..I took metal strapping (the ones w/ a bunch of holes down the middle)...bent it to shape, enlarged the holes a bit to allow the M6 bolt to go through it....and bolted the plate to it. It does kinda flap around and I"m trying to think of a way to keep it more secure (so it doesn't keep flapping against the lip and destroying the paint!)

make it out of sheet metal (1/8" thick). will be sturdy

Gfaze

Why not just buy the plate bracket? I think it's only $10-15 which is a lot cheaper than re-painting the lip.

mestizoracer310

Yeah, I know...but I hate how it looks w/ the plate sticking out in the front. I'd probably keep it there if they flush mounted it or something...
