I removed the front license plate (req'd in VA) to clean behind it and to keep it off from now on (now in NC), but they attached the front bracket into the frame?! It has 4 holes for the bolts to screw in, is there anything good out to conceal this? (Perhaps some color headed screws?) For those who bought theirs in states not requiring front plates, do you have these holes in the front?

 

Go here and buy the plugs. It's only couple bucks.

Hopefully you really mean two holes. If not where are the lower ones?

 

I dont have a front plate either, my first S2000 came with plugs, my 2nd did not, I went in and requested the plugs and got em for free

 

Thanks for the info, I'll check that out.

It should only be two holes, since there are only two bolts that secure the bracket to the frame, but there are four holes, two side by side in each place there "should" only be one. I didn't know if these were put in at the dealer, but I've known of devices that have two sets of connections, etc. depending on how you need to line something up. In this case, it could be because they screwed up, if the dealers are the ones who put them in...

 

Dealers don't put the mounting hardware on. only the plate holder. If you can, take a picture of this. I'm curious to see what you're talking about.

 

I just took off my front license plate tonight. I had the dealer order me 2 plugs. There are 4 holes in the bumper! 2 on each side. The each plug has 2 stems that fit into the holes.

It was a pain in the butt to put on the left plug b/c the screw holder thingie fell inside the bumper. It was loose and when I tried to snap the plug, the screw holder thingie fell. I had to find a long screw driver and some branch twigs to try to maneuver it out and align with the bumper holes. (can't reach it from the grill) It ended up falling again and this time to the right. I had a hard time trying to maneuver to the left. So I hoped in my car and made some left turns. It worked! PAIN IN THE BUTT!

 

My idea of a better compromise.

 

Barry, I think your front license plate is blocking the airflow.

 

Now I hope that isn't how your rear cylinder got so hot and seized - lack of airflow to the radiator. I'd be careful about that Barry.
