Where to put front Liscence plate?

As I said in the other post that I was getting my XENON front bumper painted. I need to know where to put my front plate. In NY you have to have a front plate. Im not in the mood to get a ticket for no front plate. Does anyone have any ideas of where to put the plate?? I dont want to cover the XENON logo on the front bumper.

Must be affixed to front bumper, no if's and's or but's. The NYPD and other departments do write summonses for that all the time and a parked vehicle can be ticketed for that as well.

attach it to the bottom of the bumper and let it drag the ground everywhere you go.

maybe you could custon cut the plate to fit in the gap in the bumper, kinda inset a little??

Good luck!

It looks as if the lover grill gap is too small to fit the liscence plate in. I wish it was bigger because it would look good. I have custom plates and I want to show them off so putting it in the window wouldnt be a good idea...especially since I will get a ticket for it .

3M doublesided tape! Just be careful when washing around it.

Looks like this:

IDQcivic should not be trusted
I got the same front bumper and in illinois we need the front license plate too, stupid laws, the cops should find other things to pick at besides something so minor... anyways, what i did was got 2 L-brackets, drilled some holes UP on the underside part of where the grill goes, then just used some screws to mount the L brackets, then screwed the license plate to that. It worked out pretty good.

you could always cut ur license plate so only the numbers show and that way u wouldnt ahve a problem in fitting it anywhere.
