The front license plate housing/frame that came from the dealership is an abomination. Since it's illegal in CA (as far as I know, anyway) not to display a license plate up-front, can anyone suggest a housing/frame that looks like it cost more than seventy cents and is not going to make me cringe when I look at it? Thanks.

They're kinda spendy, but I use Weathertech's frames. www.weathertech.com They have a rubber seal so road dirt and grime don't get under the plexi-glass cover.

Does that frame in the photo of your car (front end) attach to the bumper moulding without any other kind of housing?

there was also a guy floating around the various forums showing how to make on the clamps on the bumper so no drilling, and you can pull it for shows etc...

I took off my dealer advertising frames and just put the front on with no frame at all. Even bent the bottom of the plate in a bit to give it a sleeker look.

I just refuse to put a front plate on. I live in Texas and your supposed to have two plates, and I know I could be hassled by cops for this, but they never give me a look. I have an 07 black GT with white stripes down the top, hood, and trunk. I never drive slow, butI dont do wild crap on the streets. I laid the front plate on the floor board behind me and sort of shoved it under the seat.

I feel that if asked about the front plate by the police, I can show it to them and make up some story on the spot. But im 52 years old, and look like Howdy Doody so they probobly cant even see me!

I also live in the Republic of California also and and with Warlock I refuse to put a front plate on. It simply ruins the look of the car and if i get pulled over i actually plan on telling the cop that. I did however buy a drill less plate bracket off Ebay and will slip it on long enough to get the ticket signed off and then remove it promptly.
