Looking at many pics, I noticed a lot of owners don't have front plates for the clean look. Since it's mandatory here to have a front plate, is there a solution to avoid drilling holes but still have a front plate? I know Stillen had a bracket for the previous generation coupe but their tow hook was dead center. The new sedans have the tow hook off-center. Anyone have a solution to this?

I'd like to know since I'm in the market for a new sedan and if there's no solution, I'll just have the dealer install the front brackets otherwise I will request no front plates be put on.

 

Have the plate off center. The law it that it has to be there, it doesnt say it has to be dead center.

 

i think he just wants it in the center for a clean look... in which case i think zip ties are your only option

 

I have the Stillen Bracket
It's off-center, yes, but it works when I need it

It's currently in my trunk... most likely off center in there as well.

 

There was a thread running around a while back, showing license plates painted on the front bumper (in Europe, I think). See if you can find a local printer to print your plate onto some kind of overlay.

 

Printed onto the bumper? If that's the case, I could have a different plate ID everyday! I don't know about other states, but that certainly wouldn't fly here in Cali. haha

 

This what I had on my Z4M.
Putting the same thing on the G this week.

 

^Thanks for the tips guys. I guess a custom bracket is needed if it's to be centered.

Btw, a printed decal can't be legal and probably won't fly in most states. It must be a Canadian thing.

 

not strictly legal by it flies under the radar so to speak.

 

hahaha....yeah, mine sits it the trunk for spirited drives as well, but I put it on for normal daily driving.
