Mounting front license place (after searched like millions forum post)
hey i just want to know how do i mount my front license plate without taking off the front bumper.
My front bumper has plate holes already, but they are to big. I don't want to open new holes to it. So anybody can tell me how the hell i'm going to mount my custom front license plate. My hand does not fit behind the front bumper.
Please tell me.

you can always go to home depot, lowes, walmart or a similiar store and get a larger screw. just get a small pack of short fat screws and screw them in. if you give it enough force it will tap is pretty much all on its own.
If you don't want to do that you can always just take off the bumper and use and nut and bolt. but if you want a quick fix and dont mind larger holes then get a fatter screw. I do recommend against this though.

I have a 2001 Civic EX Sedan and it didn't come with the license plate holder, but here is a link to where you can get one.

It is part #7 in the list ($7.57 plus S&H)
Hope that helps.

Just screw it on. If you need the plate, then you need it. F'in do it and get it overwith.
If you don't need the plate anymore cuz you move and it bugs you that much, buy a new bumper, or put some flathead screws in and paint them over.
