Drilling Holes in My 460L
I received my license plates a couple of weeks ago and installed the rear plates. However, for the front plates, it looks like I need to drill two holes to attach the plate holder. The license then goes onto the plateholder. I hate to think of drilling holes into my beautiful car. I'm in CA. Does anyone know whether I have to have front plates installed - or just the rear ones? Any suggestions on the plate installation? Thanks.

actually, you need FOUR holes. two for the license plate holder, and two extra when you are screwing the license plate to the holder (it will go through the holder into the bumper as well)
it's a low in CA to have front plate. you can get tickets without front plate. you can run your chances

I'm not the risk taker to not have plates. I did get a ticket once in a rental car in Del Mar which was parked with expired tags! The police don't have much to do there. The rental car company paid the ticket. I just finished drilling the holes in the front and the plate is mounted. At least they have little dimples to guide you for the main two holes for the bracket. Thanks for the help.

at least our ls460l came with the front plate already so there was nothing to think about
we had our sc430 for 3 yrs and never any front plate, never a problem. and actually that car went over a year without any front or rear plates, never a problem neither. my wife got pulled over once and told the cop she had no idea why no plates, the cop just let her go

Wow, that's incredible that you can actually drive a car in CA with no plates at all. MA requires a front plate now after years of only a rear plate. Not only with a cop give you a ticket for no front plate, but meter maids will give you a ticket for it as well. If you don't have any plates, they call a tow truck and you have to take a cab home!
When I had a brand new '90 Nissan 300ZX I refused to put a front plate on, it cost me a few bucks over the years!
