Yeah I bought a new car last year and it doesn’t even have a mounting spot. it’s not a big deal not having two plates I’m sure one of the other 600 cameras on the drive will get me.

For fun I looked up how I’d have to mount a front plate and it’s just gross. I’d have to drill holes into the front or buy a bracket that’d be lopsided.

I used two self-tapping sheet metal screws when we moved from a single-plate-on-the-back state to a double-plate state.

There’s no holder but…. That’s pretty much decorative anyway.

So what? That's how it's done at the factory too. I am also opposed to front plates but drilling into the bumper is no big deal

Because front plates look like shit and Id rather not have to drill into my car just to make it easier on the cops?

That's how it's done at the factory too.

Wow no kidding.

Nice to see you really wanted to keep this post going lol

Almost as if there’s a difference between

An assembly line making perfectly centered holes into a part that they’ve yet to finish painting and detailing

versus

my ass crouching down and praying I can get four clean pilot holes in and by some miracle the paint not start flaking

Not to mention what if I put the plate slightly too high and it catches more wind and starts making some annoying ass whistling

Lol my concern would be it getting enough wind behind it and ripping it right off the bumper.
