Front license plate mount bracket options?

dmhenderson · 01-05-2012, 01:46 PM

My vehicle was factory ordered and will be delivered at the end of this month. I specified that I did *not* want front license plate holes drilled assuming I'd be able to use the Stillen mounting bracket here:

http://www.stillen.com/product.asp?i...T01&c=EX&m=all

Well, I just noticed that it specifically says that the bracket will not fit the NISMO trim. I sent out feelers to Stillen to see if they have any suggestions, but the great state of Maryland requires that I have the plate mounted somewhere on the front of the car.

Suggestions (that don't involve drilling)?

I know another forum member is using this, Nissan - GoMiniGo-Home of Innovative Products for your car. I will probably buy one soon.

I'm just about finished fabricating my own. It's welded together so that it won't suffer the loosening reported on the Stillen. (And is cheap for me.)

I looked at the gominigo option and would have no problem suggesting that for others.

Check out Moweraxle.com as an alternative. That is what I have on my NISMO. Check out my albulm with it installed at this Link!

My state has a law that requires a front license plate, but after a year and half of driving around I haven't been dinged on it yet. I have been pulled over once by State Patrol and he didn't mention it at all.

So my question is, do other states more aggresively enforce the law?

MD....my home state and TX (Fort Hood) because military folks get the put on blast when they get a ticket my the unit! Sux........

I am from Mass. Haven't been pulled over yet, but had trouble to pass the inspection. So I read the following thread and ordered Moweraxle plate bracket. It's awesome! Easy to install easy to take it off. It looks cool too(I like to rock the plate to the side)! I am having the bracket and the plate in the car just in case if I am pulled over by a cop I could put it on right away to avoid a ticket.

All of the above are good options for those that need to have a front plate. And..........FUK TX for playing with my emotions about the front plate thing! I don't have any isseus when I go home to Baltimore (having TX plates are a win in that situation) though, lol!

I have the moweraxel plate holder installed its well made, seems solid. I recomend it!

I have four holes in my bumper right now. I m going to try out the color matched bumper plugs till I get the bumper re-done.
