I don't like how front plates looks in any car...
Just tell the dealer, if its not required by law, that you don't want anything on your front bumper, anything, no holes, no screws no nothing. They have to honor you that because you are the customer and you are making the purchase of a specific product.

When I use to work at the Nissan dealership here in Honolulu...we were required to drill into the bumpers...well...except for the GT-R

^^ if the customer asks, then it's a different story...lol...right?

nismoflip6 · 12-27-2008, 01:36 PM

Most of the time no...cuz Hawaii is a 2 plate state...and we are required to do it during PDI (Pre Delivery Inspection)

nogoodname · 12-27-2008, 01:37 PM

^^^ oh ok.....true.....over here.....it's just one plate

Damn it. I live in California...

If they drill into my front bumper, I'm going to throw a fit!

It should be illegal for them to DRILL into the car. Since California is gave us the requirement that we need a front plate, they should pay for the cost of designing a bracket that does NOT damage the car in a permanent manner. A bracket should be designed that goes from the inner front bumper-gate, out to a plate bracket. That way if I sold my car to someone who lives in another state that doesn't require the front plate, the car is NOT damaged by a DRILL!

WTF? And if I tell them that they can install the front plate with a special bracket BEFORE they drill into my front bumper, they won't do it and they'll still DRILL INTO THE BUMPER! Who's going to pay for those damages to my front bumper!?

^^^ only black cars don't need a front plate in cali.

Crash · 12-27-2008, 03:45 PM

Yeah... I'd like to see you get away with that!

Although, what's funny is that the Solstice (a black car) hasn't gotten a front plate ticket, (knock on wood) and the the 300zx (a red car) has. In fact it got 2.

Oh that would be Soooooo awesome! I would love to see the cop's face when he pulls me over and says "I pulled you over because you were missing a front license plate."

*with a push of a button* "What do you mean officer? It's right there..."

Oh that would be PRICELESS!!!!

I have been pulled over 3 times because of that crap.

Where do you think we can put these on the new Z?

In Oregon, we are required to have both. They always look like they took a hammer and Sinker nails to make the holes. I have taken off many a' factory plate holder, and seen the cracks and damage that dealers have caused. Pathetic and sad.
