I've been driving my GX without the front license plate for over 4 years. To me it is starting to look a bit bland and like it is missing something. So until I can afford to buy a new SSO bumper, I'm considering putting the tag in the front just to make it a little different and look meaner, lol.

Currently the bumper has two indents as it never had a tag installed. Do I need to buy some special screws or mounting bracket to mount the plate? 2 or 4? Do I need to first drill the holes or just use the screws to drill them in? Do I need to put a nut on screws behind the bumper to hold them in? I'm thinking going without the frame for a cleaner look. I have a white GX and our plates are white with black letters.

 

Self tapping screws through the dimples.

 

Have you always gone plateless? In MD you're supposed to always have a front tag and you can technically get a ticket for not having one. Has this ever happened to you?

In any case, I use a product called Flexyframe XL, painted silver, which acts as a bumper guard.

 

I think Autozone should carry them. Will look for those.

 

Yes, I've been lucky so far but always had a fear of getting caught.
Good idea about Flexyframe, but I think I'll try frameless for cleaner look.
