I'll ask again: How to mount license plate securely with no holes?

I brought up gun rights simply because the whole "most $x do $y" isn't a valid argument for actually doing something.

I would just suggest that you read the thread. Yes, no one said "state's rights" but, it was certainly implied.

My position is simply if your local laws require a front plate, just put one on and don't be an @$$ about it.

Now.... I'm not getting into a juvenile pissing match with anyone but, flame on if you must. I will not respond.

Well if I do end up having to drill holes, is there at least a professional looking one? One of those black ones that the plate rests in. Typically, they look like they sort of mold to the bumper cover itself. As if they are part of it. And usually are made out of black plastic.

I agree, more government intrusion. Unfortunately, here the local cops do care. I had California plates here for 2 years and had those plexiglass covers over the plates. When I got Texas plates, I bought a new plexiglass cover for the new plate. IIRC, it was that same day that I got pulled over......because the plexiglass covers aren't allowed in Texas . I asked the LEO why does Wal-Mart sell them here if they aren't legal. He rattled off a whole bunch of things that Wal-Mart sells at their stores in Texas that people aren't allowed to posess in Texas .

If you start making the big bucks one day and buy a nice Lambo are you going to be all excited to take a powerdrill to that mufugga because some dickhole politician thinks you need to be identified more easily?

Most industrialized countries don't have gun rights either, and all of those guys can kiss my M-11's ejection port.

^^^^^ This.... x 1000.

I'm not trying to fan the flames... but I don't understand this...

Rear license plate: "Eh, no big deal."
Front license plate: "WTF?! Why's the government infringing on my rights and intruding in my affairs?!"



And to OP:
Did you get one of these when you got the car?



(the black plastic license plate frame on the front bumper)

Granted, you'll still be making holes in the bumper, which, if you want to take the front plate back off, can be filled in using the same screw and bolt caps like so:




I don't think you are going to get any more useful suggestions from anyone here, further than what was already suggested in your previous thread...

1. Have you read all the statutes for your town, county, state, and the U.S. Code and follow all of them to a T (even if they are 150 years old and make no sense re modern society but were just never repealed). If not, then pot meet kettle.

2. Since when is exercising civil disobedience being an a**. It sounds as though he has a much clearer view of the spirit this country was founded on than you do.

3. Juvenile p****** match ? He didn't start it, you did.

Bullshit, he did. Read post 6. Thread closed since it turned into a political pissing thread. Grow up.
