Front Plates on the 370z

perfectnobody · 12-10-2009, 03:50 PM

live in NJ where these are required.

any suggestions on front plates i could get that would help me avoid putting holes on my front bumber.

i did a search and came up with this product

has anyone used it on their Z, and if possible, can you share pics or videos.

thanks!

so, safe to say this is the best bet then, any pics? or vid's of how it looks

how is the installation process?

are these only purchased via this website?

thanks!

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.

thanks for your help non the less.

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?

I made another suggestion on this post for a place that makes a no holes mount:

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.

THAT's the one i was looking for. saw his car in person a lil while ago

Red370 · 12-10-2009, 05:14 PM

Texas requires one, had mine for 6 months and still havent put mine on, i keep it in my front seat and put it in the window for long drives, no trouble from the cops at all.

vipor · 12-10-2009, 05:22 PM

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.

molamann · 12-10-2009, 09:39 PM

Here's mine.

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

Just zip tie it to the front grill.
