DAMN LICENSE PLATE
I live in massachusetts and the state requires two license plates. I dont mind, i just dont want to have to drill holes in my painted front bumper. Is there any way to mount a front plate without modification to the car???

cutt and paste this link:http://www.imagestation.com/album/?i...5553162&idx=10 you can see how the opr8r and me ( at the end) have the plates going though the grill. It is basiclly 2-3inch bolts and 4 washers and 6 bolts to hold them. Try it! Looks clean too.

We don't need a front plate in AZ. Unfortunately, the CA dealer just had to stick an ad plate on the front and drill 2 holes! It doesn't look too bad ,,,I just reinserted the screws after taking the ad off. But it would have been nice if the dealer had shown some consideration and kept it clean. Just a word of warning for the new xB owners who don't need front plates, insist the dealer leave the bumper alone.

Well, for the dealers to pass the cars inspection they have to have two plates on. I think i will just lie to them and tell them i bought some carbon fiber japanese thing that i will mount when it comes over and that i uses a different mount system.
I will totally outsmart them

whoever told you port does it was full of it . Plates and brackets are done at the dealership. In fact, when the cars come off the trucks at the dealership, the rear plate holes have tape over them.

Pics look good with the plates on one side. I live in NJ, and we too have to have the front plates. Im just gonna bite the bullet, and stick it on the front. What i would suggest though, is that you install the plate with some kind of cushion behind it. I found out the hard way on my Accent. the front plate rubbed the paint off, and it started to flake off just the littliest bit. I plan on using some kinda dense foam backing.
