Front Plate Bracket?

Hey guys,

Well, I have terrible news. I have a 2012 TL that I originally bought and registered in NC, where there's no front-license plates or front-tint laws. However, now I have to register the car in NJ and of course NJ has laws for both.

I can't have any front tints so I have to say bye-bye to my beautiful fully tinted windows and welcome the ugly clear glass =(.

In addition I need to mount a front license plate. However since the car was bought in NC, it didn't come with any mounting equipment. I looked on amazon for the bracket but I could only find one for a 3rd Gen TL. Can someone tell me the part number for the '12s?

Overall I'm a very very sad owner today =(
Thanks!

Holy crap, the Rho-Plate v2 is ~100 bucks? Wtf! Insane price for a piece of metal. I can't imagine they sell enough of those.

Thanks for the Acura model number though! Just ordered it off amazon. Thanks!

you might be able to buy it off the black market for cheaper for those that switched out or went plate-less

So advantages of it though:

- It uses your tow hook (so no drilling)
- You can transfer it to different cars (I bounced it between 3 of mine)
- Million ways of adjustment

I had the original Rho-plate which worked fine but would sag a bit every once in awhile. The updated version corrects that with the multiple mounting point thing on the tow adapter.
