ISF front style bumper. i had to trim it a bit. cut it around all sides. not sure how to do it with regular bumper. originally i thought about just using like velcro perhaps. on the beamers they have this motorized unit that can bring up the plate and then hide it.
I wish I thought of actually cutting down the plate to fit the bumper grill

I'm glad I've never ran a front plate on any of my cars. Really makes the front end ugly lol.

I don't have it on. Just have to test your luck. Been running without front plates for 10+ years and did not have a problem. It is mostly depending on where you go. As for me, my car are either in company parking lot or in garage or occasionally at friends place during the night. It is more of a family style life which has much less risk of getting spotting by metermaid or police.

If you really don't want it on, take a chance. Fix-it ticket is $20-$30 anyway and I think it is better than other method which costs money too. Or actually conforming with the law is the safest and best way.
