What are the Alternatives for front plate install...

kekoa · 05-01-2006, 02:24 PM

I need to get a front plate ticket signed off within the next few weeks and really don't want to drill. has anyone had luck with taping the front bracket to the car and then bolting the plate on?

tia!

Bring it to the dealership where you got the car and they should help you out.

I know, but just don't want to drill. I figure if i just tape it, i can take it off again easily once the ticket is signed off .

If you just have to show them to get the ticket signed off, sure you can tape it! Just use alot of double sided tape about a mile before you get to the place and take it off afterwards. It will definately hold through that. People hold spoilers and stuff on for years with that stuff.

Dealers here love thin doublesided tape

It usually lasts for years

How do you take the double sided tape off??

Just peel it off. It's a little difficult, but it will come off.

Very, very carefully.

Just tape it, take a pic, show it to the judge, get the ticket cleared, go back to your car, take the plate off, and drive home with style again.
