Default SIMOTA1 No holes license plate bracket for Amuse front =]

Hey guys so ive been pulled over twice for not running a front license plate by cops over here... luckily they both gave me warnings.... i didnt feel like waiting a third time and paying a 90 dollar ticket for not having a front LP... so i opted for a license holder similar to the stillen ones.... so i bought a stillen one locally and it didnt work... at all it hit the bumper lol i couldnt even mount it... so i decided to make my own...



i started off with the idea of having it float in front of the bumper... it looked massively retarded, it didnt flow whatsoever... so i reduced it from 9 1/4 to 7... which still looked ugly so i reduced it to 3 inches so it would be recessed in the bumper... and this is the final outcome... i plasti dipped it lol



i then used a angle bar made outa aluminum also and that is what is connected to the plate... here is the final outcome...







now cops cant pull me over

just buy a tow hook and cut it off. Tap a screw on the front, wouldn't that work so you dont need to use a lathe? Even one of those cheap tow hooks...

Looks nice and clean. Makes me so happy that they don't require a front license plate in AZ
