I know many of us have gone through it, especially if you have the front plate holder shaved.
I was wonder what can be done to place the front plate where it belongs without making any holes in the bumper. I tried tie rods but it looked to messy and the plate hung to low. Got my 6th ticket and Im sick of it

well...i dont know howwilling youd be to do this, but heres my sugestion...
you can drill 4 small holes in the bumper...but kinda not in the front, but so that theyre down and up. i dont know if that makes sense...but i mean drill the holes on the top and bottom of the "mouth" that are parallel with the ground so you wont be able to see them.
then you can just take twist-ties and tie your plate to your bumper. youll be able to adjust the height the way you want it, and it shouldnt rattle or touch anythign if you make it tight. and those twist-ties are pretty tough, so they shouldnt rip or break, plus you can get black ones so theyll match.

You could do what I did to pass inspection! Just duct tape that bad boy on. I drove to the inspection center w/ my front liscense plate taped on while they put it on that break tester and shook the hell outta my car without moving the plate at all. I know its ghetto, but do you really wanna keep the plate on forever? Im sure you know certain streets you could and can't get away with now. I live in Jersey city and duct tape my liscence plate whenever i drive to Staten Island almost every other day. Oh nice car by the way!!!
