What is the best way to relocate the FLP off the bumper. Someone had mentioned using wire to attach it to the stock grill, but I wanted a more elegant rig.
Anyone with some help?

 

I relocated mine to a box in my basement.

If you do a search, you'll find a couple of different approaches, but nothing that I think is an ideal solution.

Good luck,

Ted

 

Here's what I did:



I sent my tag to Coastal Metal's and had them trim it down and stick it onto one of their grills. I'm very happy with it and have run into no cooling/airflow problems.

Here's a link to one thread about this solution, with links to 3 other threads about same stuff.

 

Tedster;

Any problems without the FLP in the Seattle area?? As part of the PDI with the dealer (I gave them the S2KI.com Pre-Delivery Letter!!) I told them not to mount the FLP bracket.

Bruce,

the only problem that I have had is a fine tacked on to a parking ticket, but others in the area have been stopped (ticketed?) multiple times.

I say try it wothout the plate and see if you get hassled by the man.

Well, thanks for the tips and threads. I'll work on attaching my bracket to the stock grille.
Already have a warning for no FLP. If I come up with something really creative, I'll post it.

 

I moved from New Jersey to North Carolina. This solved a lot of problems for me, one of which was the FLP!

 

I was a sheep and was the 2nd (that I'm aware of) to follow Moonpie's efforts with Coastal-Metals front grill insert. I don't *like* that my state (VA) requires FLPs, but since I enjoy my personalized plates, I appreciate the efforts that C-M did to reduce its size, professionally mount/trim it to their grill, and generally finish off a sweet effort. For me, if an FLP is a requirement...then I'm going to abide in as classy a fashion as possible. Besides, I'd just as soon not pay the fine every time officer Bob decides he's had enuf of seeing me have too much fun...

 

For those cutting the plate down - what do you use as a frame? Is it a standard plastic frame that has bee resized somehow?

Thanks for the info......

A police officer friend of mine said to take the front licence plate bracket and just break it. You know step on it or something. He then if you get pulled over you can just say it broke and you havn't replaced it YET. Now, YET could mean tommorrow or next week or the next century. (I'm not saying to break the law but it does work ask his wife)

So break it dump it in the trunk and roll on

just a thought

Have fun
