License Plate On Front Of Vehicle - State Law

[oneshort]

state law says we have to have a front plate but I just don't like where it seems to have to go . Any ideas

Where else? Could move it up to the grill area.

Not many options when it comes to hanging front plates. Our state also requires it - doesn't look good to me but I do it.

@tibadoe ypur right I don't like where it is but no other option unless I like tickets

Texas requires a front plate, when I put billet grills on the front openings of my 2011 Silverado the plate really looked out of place and blocked the lower opening.
I used a piece of flat stock and some angle iron to cobble together a new plate bracket that I dropped down a few inch's out of the way on the valance panel.

mount it to the front skid plate, it on the front like the law stated. California has the same law, I had the front facia replace and told the body shop not to drill the holes for the front plate.

Wonder how many states actually dictate a location for where the plate is supposed to go. Also what about front lighting, seems like you're to have a plate but don't have to have a front bulb.

I hated to put the front plate on my SR. It looked clean without it. Oh well, life moves on.

Did away with mine and went with a better option. Made a bunch of extra ones out of better material if anyone is interested. That factory bracket cut grooves in my bumper cover.

Nice clean alternative for mounting the License plate. Would be nice if Virginia would not require them.

I totally agree. Got a ticket here a few years ago for no front plate.

My wifes Challenger came with one of those ugly plastic blocks to be attached to the front bumper, I stopped the dealership just in time from punching holes through the paint. I replaced the factory plate holder with a "Mr Mikes" removeable plate holder that attaches under the front valence where any attachement holes are not seen

 

[mrproduxn]

Yes you were lucky you stopped them. Personally I don't want holes drilled in my bumper and especially when done by the shadetree prep geek.

I have mine located on a bull bar bracket. Would rather not have it in front at all though.

 

[toyotafan]

I still haven't put my front plate on. Lol. It's sitting under my rear seat.

Can you put it inside your truck in the windshield?

That's a good question. I'll have to look it up

 

[Jennriles7]

Here in Texas, it’s allowed. That’s what I plan to do with mine when they come in

State man pulled me over a couple of times over the years for not having a front plate. Still hate the plates.

I got pulled over in wa state for no front plate but not in Texas.
