Front plate placement / Let's see those personalized License plates

[scoates]

Just been told by my dealer that for the UK market you have to take delivery with the front plate mounting attached.

He said Toyota UK stated:

"As this is standard on the vehicle, we are unable to request that this not be fitted."

Looks like bumper holes for everyone! (in the UK)

Hello, so I stopped by the dealer here in the U.S. For those states that require a front plate Toyota dealership will be giving you this. I noted the that the plate can fit in the middle vent and be zip tied. But I don’t know how much it will affect the performance but can be a temporary placement till you figure it out.

Do not block the center vent. That is the main intake for the radiator.

I live in Texas and I have been pulled over with every cars I have ever owned. Couple years after 9/11, I got pulled over and DPS trooper literally said "making sure you are not a terrorist since you don't have a front license plate." This was when I was driving 350z and i just said 'I can't be a terrorist because this car is a stick. Terrorists can't drive stick." He wrote me up. I knew I was going to be screwed either way because I am a Korean and he was trying to imply I was a terrorist.

Lmao...you could defend that with the judge that you are korean and drives stick..so no way you are a terrorist..

that looks like have to be drilled on the front bumper. doesnt look like you can actually zip ties this to the bumper..

i told my NJ dealership not to install this kind of thing. i told them i will place the plate on the fake vents for now and zip ties them

Is anyone aware of laws/regulations around the types of places you can have in terms of color (e.g., would a black plate with red lettering be acceptable)? Just trying to figure out a way around having a white plate with blue numbering on a black LE.

For those who have gotten their Supra already how did you mount the front plate? TIA

Unsure of laws/regs in your state, but how about a smoked licence plate cover and frame. Just a thought.

Can anyone confirm that the Rear license plate holder uses 4 holes to mount? I want to get a custom plate frame & rather get a 4 hole if it accepts it. Thanks!

I live in Texas and have owned 2 cars both without a front license plate for the last 8 years and never once have I gotten pulled over for no front plates.

08 Acura TL
11 G37S Sedan.

My brother has a 09 Camry and has owned that car for 10 years and never once got pulled over for no front plates.
