People with ms front bumper
 
I will be buying the ms kit soon, minus the ridiculously over priced rims, but unfortunately I'm from nj so I have to put a plate on the front. Does anyone have this?is there something I can do to keep it from scratching the bumper, preferably something easily removed for photoshoots.

Thanks for the help guys

Edit. Wrong section. Pmed a mod to move

hey, just zip tie your plate onto the grill. then it will be easy to take off just by cutting the zip ties

Try DIY section for front plate relocation.


I got a JDM relocation kit from Thailand when I visited home. (We have a lot of cheap JDM stuff. I got it for $1.5)
It is almost the same as DIY, but it just give you ability to tilt the plate up or down.


I tilted my plate a bit backward so the plate won't be bend by the wind.

^To be honest I hate the look of that. It looks like you accidently ran into the plate and it is stuck on your bumper... If the plate is centered on the back of the car, it should also be centered on the front of the car.

+1 I love your clean look.
The best is no plate in the front at all.
But it does required here in CA. I got pulled over too many time.

I tried to put on the grill already but it was blocking RB air duct.

I'm from CT so I don't have to worry about the front plate:ylsuper: If I had to I thing I would put the plate behind the center grill.

I just go without my plate, not had any problems so far since i have had the car, even in cali. where it is required.

I got a new MS bumper (the old one has been damaged ... by NYC fucking roads, so bad that its waste of time to repair it ... fuck you bloomberg!) and wondering the same thing. The old one I had them drilled at the default front location. This new one Im going to let them paint it next week. Hmm. maybe I'll do what krijpipudht did.

I'm in Canada so the front licensce plate is mandatory for me as well. I just used black zip ties, you can barely see them even when standing close up and you can just snip them off for photoshoots. Its much cheaper than buying a kit to move the plate off to the side and you still get a perfectly clean look when you take it off.
