Front license plate question

[HMNGSupraMKIII]

hi in the state of wisconsin and im sure other states, your car needs to have a front license plate on the front bumper, but i have mine inside of the car at the windshield. i would put it on the front bumper but there isnt holes were i can screw it in and i dont want to make the front bumper look bad. is there a way to put the license plate on the front bumper without having to make holes?

zipties? I dont know really, I have mine in the windshield like you ... seems to get me by here in texas

ziptie it to the lower grill is about the only way, or find a diff bumer that takes a front plate. though windsheild should be fine, as i dont think they can make you add one, as you got nothing but styrofoam to attach one to.

no holes...what kind of bumper do you have?
i used to have it on my windshield. but of course i got pulled over and cited (california)

If you buy a stock bumper cover, it doesn't have the holes in it. The threaded spots are in the support behind the bumper cover though. Personally, I'd either not worry about it until you get pulled over for it, or fabricate (or buy) a relocation plate that bolts to the existing bolts around the opening of the grill. http://www.rhdjapan.com/cusco-front-license-plate-offset-mount-toyota-15433

I always hate having to mount a plate on the front. I kinda like the look of it when the bottom of the plate is angled in, for a tip.

No front plate here, just take your chances.

I only was hassled once in 4 years.

i got hassled like 2 days after i got insurance for no front plate, it was on the passenger windshield...after i did my own license plate mount using flash steps (home depot) and its been holding since

I paid alot less though, maybe like $7..

the paint fades after a few months, so hit it up with some black or whatever color you'd like..

The reason I got mine was because I have a JDM bumper and the bolt-holes do not match USDM license plates, and I got an S2 style airguide, so I didn't want to block anything, so I moved it to the driver's side. I'll try to throw up a pic soon.

I used to just run it in the windshield, but the cops around here have few better things to do, and eventually told me that next time I'd be getting a ticket. Few zipties later, problem solved. Bumper cover from Shine is NOT going to be having holes in it, and I'm not gonna be blocking any airflow if I can help it, so I might figure something else out.

Here we go. Excuse the sleepy eyes I was working on wiring under the headlight (hands are skinny enough to fit without removing much)

It isn't the prettiest but I don't have to block my fogs, oil cooler (since relocated), IC or radiator.

whenever my car gets painted, ill be using one of these: http://www.grimmspeed.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=89&products_id=218

pretty simple, just need to weld a nut to the bumper support somewhere, and thread it in. you can also take the plate off and stick a body colored plug in the hole for car shows
