They crack down on front plates in my hood.

Chance it and rather pay the fine than drill holes in my bumper. My front plate is on the wall in my garage.

I haven't had any issues with my car, but my wife has gotten two $35 no plate tickets from meter readers when her ML was parked in Portland. They have obviously been trained to look for this.

Im kinda ticked off with my car front plates btw,
the car kinda came installed by default at the dealership and removing it with leave me with some holes

Boost3dm3 · 12-16-2008, 12:22 PM

most people would install it right where the stock one sits.

I don't have my car yet, but was going to install one if it is possible. If the device needs 8 inches of clearance how much space is there from the front of the bumper (place where stock plate would sit) to the front of the radiator (ignoring the black grille of course)?

Boost3dm3 · 12-16-2008, 01:40 PM

i remember measuring it and it would fit just gotta remove these two vertical support members

Oh I see. How much space is there between these two supports and can they be moved if you drilled new holes for the supports?

Boost3dm3 · 12-16-2008, 02:16 PM

like 5 or 6 inches between the two members, i dont think you can move them tho i think they are integrally formed

TwistaStick · 12-16-2008, 02:23 PM

My brother-in-law is a welder

. He should be able to fix me up with some relocated supports.

Boost3dm3 · 12-16-2008, 07:35 PM

they are plastic supports not metal

trust me there was no saving it ... the plastic was cracked the metal bent to hell and the metal cable that actually moved the plate was shredded.... why would you try and save 150 bucks when you can afford an m3
