Default For the last time..

I absolutely refuse to mount it in the pre-drilled holes after having paid $10 for my precious bumper plugs.

Zip-ties don't seem to work with the lower part of the AP2 bumper as there is nothing to tie them onto.

I'm thinking of ordering one of those JDM license plate relocator brackets, but it seems like I'll have to drill a couple of holes in the top part of the lower half of the bumper which I'm not too willing to do.

Are you guys just running it without front plates?

I live in Nazifornia, so I'm not going to risk getting any more front-plate tickets as parking enforcers (especially in the west LA/santa monica area) have the ability to cite you nowadays, not just cops.

Thanks guys,
Ken

Why did you pay? My dealer mounted my front plates and gave me the plugs. Don't know what I'm gonna do with them, but I have them - for my last 3 Hondas, in fact.

I dont have my plates on. I dont really like how any of the mounts look either.

Just take off both plates off and slap the dealer sticker back on your windshield.

^^^Doesn't those 2 sentence contradict each other?....

Also I still have my front plates as after getting several warning in my eclipse and a couple of ticket associating with it, I've decided that it wasn't worth all that hassle/money to leave the front off to look a lil better......

Us poor Europeans MUST have front plates at all times.
I tried to get mine as small and subtle as possible by using heavy duty Velcro but it is still illegal

Don't use the JDM mount that is just

Heres mine
