I'm about ready to gag myself. Just bought my car in Michigan and I live in Minnesota. They require me to install a front plate. I think they look HORRIBLE . Anyways, how do I take off the insert on the front bumper to get the plate on their. Do I need to buy anything to mount the plate?

Two screws at the bottom hold the plate filler on. The state license plate will need the License plate holder GM part # 10288541. Plate slips into the black plastic holder and you bolt it down.

Or you could just leave the much more attractive filler plug installed like most of us do.

I didn't bother with installing my plate either after buying my car, but then after about 9 months I finally got pulled over and was given a "Fix-it" ticket. So, I went to the local dealership and bought one of their license plate surrounds for $18 and painted it black. I installed it on the car, took a few pictures of it and brought it in to the traffic court, at which time they dropped it.

Then I drove home and put my filler plate back on,.... and I stuck the plate & surround in a bag with the two screws behind my seat (just in case I get pulled over again) and I haven't been bothered since.

This is what the plate surround looked like before painting it gloss black:





AND NOW IT'S BACK ON!!!

Does anyone know of a place other than the dealer to buy the license plate surround piece at ? The dealer tends to be the HIGHEST priced place around

Bought this from KEWL, good match, I think it was around $60.

In most cases yes,.....in this case NO!!! You can buy the exact same thing the dealership sells at Mid America for $24.99 + S&H. By the time you order it and wait a week or two to get it, you could've driven down to the closest dealership and picked one up that same day, and paid less for it. I happen to get mine from the dealership at wholesale for $18,.....but the retail price on it was less than $25.

If you decide to pay the $60+ they charge at KEWL, also plan on waiting several months before you get it. Do a search on that item.....you'll find many people here who have had to wait for a very long time.

Just my .02 worth

You don't need no stinking holder. 2 screws will hold it fine. Use 4 if you like. Put a piece of velcro on the cover and just stick it over the plate when you feel daring.

Nice.....now if you can only mount a linear actuator to it so you can flip to legal when you get pulled over.

I wouldn't get away without a front plate in UK

Mine came from Kewl Auto too

Are those Corvette flagged license plate bolts

Here's another one from KEWL . . .

And I painted up my own plate bubble on the inside. At least it stops bugs sticking to my plate -

You could also get a painted license plate surround to help with the looks of having to run a plate.

If you have to run a front plate, you could get a painted license plate surround, and it will look better.
