Default No front plate/ No problem

well after getting a ticket for not having a front plate, i figured how can i solve this issue? well here it is.

four really strong magnets, some double sided tape, and my front coastel grill= problem solved.

im not saying this wont get you a ticket, so if you decide to do it, your on your own.

this is for the purpose of parking in cities that are notorious for giving you tickets with no front plate. (since its illegal not to have a front plate in california)

here are the magnets

here is the grill, removed

add some double sided tape to the magnets (be sure to use the magnetic sides)

test fit location of magnets

attatch two magnets to the back of the plate, and test fit

here is the grill with the magnets hidden

so when you park your car, just slap the plate on the front and walk away,

You would still get a ticket for not having a front plate when someone steals your plate off the grill

The idea is only for when you park, otherwise it would be pointless to use magnets because you could just bolt it down.
