there is no installation, screws in where your tow hook goes

it's a stillen part, so that's probably the best place to get it.

honestly, there are probably more than few threads on here about it, search is your friend.

Installation would be very easy. If you can put a rear plate on this is just a couple nuts and bolts more.

Have you been pulled over for no plate already?

no, i haven't.. though my car is only 2 weeks old and still has the temp plates on it.

i just went ahead and purchased the stillen one...

came to about $80 bucks, which i know is steep, but cheaper than a ticket (i think) and no need to drill any holes.

I haven't had any issues for no front plate ever. Had my 240's for a couple years and my Z now for almost 5 months, not even a second look from a cop passing by.

I HATE front license plate...and for me that is "sour subject" right now. Not only I have front license plate but the since the car was brought from another dealer the front bumper has two big azz holes in my front bumper underneath the plate frame, don't ask my why?



I'm working with the Store Manager but it look like I will have to put more pressure on him with the Corporate Office and/or BBB. I gave him a week to get back with me, will see.

Here's mine.



Other than the somewhat hefty cost, I highly recommend em. Surprisingly people have complimented the front plates also. lol
