I finally installed my front license plate the normal way as shown in the handbook. Except for 1 big change. I went to Ace Hardware and used 2 "J nut" that is made from hardened steel and is lot thinner than the enclosed plastic one. So everything is flush to the contour of the bumper and no gaps. |

If it was a State Trooper I am surprised you got away with the tint. I just got mine tinted at 35% which is MD legal, but that is only if there is absolutely no factory tint. I'm hoping not to have any issues. I got tired of retinting over and over again at 15% on my other cars. MD State troopers also look out for front license plate violators. Ask anyone that ownes a Vette.

I had to have my front license plate in order to get my military base stickers. The thing is I didn't want to drill big holes in my front bumper. You know those 2 little marks on the black part of the front bumper?(the drill marks for the license plate holder) well I just measured the holes and drilled 2 small holes in my license plate and mounted the plate with small screws into the marks. As soon as I got my base stickers I remove the front plate and I can barely notice the very small holes.

I'll be buying my car in VT where the front plate is required, but will be moving to WV a month after where the front place isn't required...I wonder if I can tell the dealer to not install it...I dont want holes in the bumper after I take the bracket off.

def tell the dealer not to install it. My dealer did not install the license plate and front chin spoiler. They asked my permission and told me that whenever I decide to put them on, they will install it free of charge. I ended up installing myself.
BTW, good to see you back, koojo. I thought you left us!

Good point thanks man! I'll tell them to hold off on installing the plate bracket.
I've been around, mainly just browsing. But I'm pretty close to buying a pearl white 370z so I'll be on here 24/7 haha.

Question for trema
Hey Trema,
Did you go to the dealer to try to get a new front bumper? I just picked up a 370 less than 2 weeks ago and I just noticed two big dings in my front bumper from a poor front plate installation. I'm planning on going to the dealer tomorrow to see what they can do for me. Just wondering if you did anthing about it or just dealt with it. |
