Default Speaking of Front Plates and Bumper Holes

Speaking of Front Plates and Bumper Holes

I removed my front plate (they don't bother you for this in CT right now) but now have 4 holes in my bumper!

Does anyone know where I can get some "plugs" for them? My Prelude had these. I don't want to permenantly fill them either in case I need to put it back on.

I know how you guys feel about those stupid fixed tickets because I just received mine a month ago for tinted windows and for no front plate. He thought I was a drug dealer because I was in a ghetto neighborhood with fine *** car. Of all the **** that is going on in that neighborhood, he picks on the nicest car there, now that really blows. Anyways, I have two friends that knows some police officer that can wright it off for me but I'm still waiting...my court date isn't until March 15 though so I have a few more weeks to get it writen off. Hey Globe, good luck bro!

thanks alot man.

If I can find somone to write it off for me, all I need to do is go to court and show them the signed-off ticket and pay the court fee right? (my girlfriend got a fix-it ticket before, and it was something like $15 to examine the fixed problem at the police station, and $20 dollar court fee) that's BS.

I guess price has gone up, I remember you just need to show proof of fix, by getting any police officer to take a look and sign you off (no charge), then mail in the ticket with a BS processing fee of $10.

the $15 to exam the fixed problem, that is such BS, next thing you know, they'll charge for pulling you over for time used, and charge of writing up the ticket in office supplies, and charge for telling you how stupid you are for being pulled over in counseling fee, oh wait, we already pay for those with our taxes!!!!!

That's the reason I moved away from LA to Texas. No tinted glass So. Cal. has the most sunny days in the country. And there're cops all over the place to nail you down. Whe I lived in LA, I got several tickets in San Gabriel area for not using turn signal when making turns I even got a ticket for J-walk when crossed Garfield in Montery Park.

Now living in TX, you can tint the window as dark as u want. You can also race as hard as u want just don't do it in front of the cops

that's a great idea

I'll also apply for becoming an Iceland citizen so I don't have to worry about being drafted or called on jury duty

Up Here in the province of Alberta we don't have front licence plates I love it. I just wish they let 4 door cars have all their windows tinted.

If I was in Japan where the front license plate thing is ABSOLUTELY enforced, I wouldn't worry about it because I'll be driving an RX-7 or something

I found a very nice mount. It looks normal when the car is not moving, and when the car is moving the license plate folds inwards due to aerodynamics at 80km/h. But I don't think it'll work right the GS's front bumper.
what state is that?

my license plate is expired

2x side tape sounds good but it might fall off when i get it signed off or something.
Globe.... No way, dont worry.. D-sided body kit/spoiler tape will NOT come off....and it wont hurt the paint...
