Front license plate?

I am concerned about how my front bumper is going to look since my car is being transferred from La to Fl. It isnt mandatory to have the license plate in the front in Fl but the car had the front license plate in La. Is it going to look bad when i take it off? What can I do? Any pictures?

No. you can drive w/o it
Further, you will need to use bumper plugs to fit in license plate holes.
This is website. www.Bumperplugs.com
However, you will have to drill about 1/4in to wide screw hole, and the license plate will work same as before.
It's a bit pricy but you'll love it.

It is NOT mandatory to have a front license plate in FL. I lived in Florida for 12 years.

I have lived in florida all my life. I appreciate the help, but thats not what I was asking. I just wanted to know how to fix the holes since I will be getting rid of the license plate from the front.

What exactly does "you will have to drill about 1/4in to wide screw hole" mean?

Don't drill larger holes and certainly don't spend $30 for a couple little bits of plastic.

Just go to Home Depot (or any other similar store) and buy a pack of appropriately-sized screws. Get ones with a slighty domed phillips head, 1/2" in diameter. Then use your touch-up paint to make them match your car. Use a second coat AFTER they have been installed to cover up the phillips + mark and any scratches you might have made on the head when you installed them.

How did they attach it then? I just got my car yesterday(see sig) and my plates wont be in for about 3 months they said. DMV is behind apparently(g darn!). I really love the look of the front without the LP but my parents will make me put it on when it arrives since its "the law".

EDIT: BTW, Im 17
