I was considering not putting it on but still keep it inside the car. I see so many Tesla’s bmw and Mercedes without it. W so many other moving violations that can net higher fees than a fix it ticket would, I can imagine Chp and local law enforcements wouldn’t bother much pulling over someone for not having a front license plate.
Yup. We’re glad we stopped the sales guy from drilling holes to “make us legal”.
I used several layers of Gorilla tape, double sided, on the top (you have to build up the point of contact). There’s only one strip on the bottom. It seems to be working just fine. The tape moved around the first day, but once it set, it’s been fixed. It’s gone through the car was a few times with no issue.
I definitely recommend drilling a small pilot hole first in order to get the screw started and to prevent it from walking around the small indented areas. Other than that, worked well and I am now legal. At least legal with regards to front license plates.
Just some caution with these... I had something similar on my old 4runner and they broke off on a water crossing, breaking the grill also. PITA for no reason...
Today I was able to use zip ties (24 inches) and adhesive foam (1 inch place on the bottom and between the screw holes on the top) to secure the license plate holder to the bumper. See photos. If u can live w 2 zip ties that look like it might be part of the bumper and that the bracket isn’t completely flushed to the it…this could be one solution for those of us that don’t want to drill into the bumper. I still prefer zip tying to the bottom grill mesh for cleaner look
What light bar are you running? 30 inch? i did my 28 inch myself and thought that was the absolute max length anyone could get.
