I had an accident and had to have the entire front end replaced, so I made sure they didn't put a plate bracket and I had them remove the Nissan badge. Maryland also requires a front tag, that's why I ordered the tow hook mount.

Looks good.
The only down side is it's in the way of the daytime LED lights (2010 Nissan 370Z Coupe | Accessories | Nissan USA) if you plan to install them.

when i bought my mercedes, my brother told me not to put on the front license plate until i get a fix it ticket.

i drove the car without the front plate for 6 years and traded it in for the 370z. I never got a fix it ticket.

Mick:

I thought about that, but I would rather not chance it. Call me a wuss, I know.

Itp:
Interesting lights, but not for me and my Z. I was thinking about installing some driving lights in the lower cut-out areas to the far right and left, but I'm not 100% sure yet. I would have to find something that would look good installed in them.

I am with you - don't like the daylight LED location.
I am looking for some LEDs that are nice and small enough to put them by the fang area.
let's know if you find one.

ITP:

Same here. I haven't really looked yet. Lately I'm consumed with an after-market intake and exhaust. Eventually I'll get around to looking for the lights. If I find anything, I'll let you know.
