The law in Colorado is that the car must have two plates, front and rear, permanately attached. Being that it does not say where, my rear plate is in a lighted frame in the back window and my front plate is in the front window - held to the glass with those suction cups with hooks.
I used to get several tickets in my gray market GTI for running the front oval that it came with. I never get any greif in the Porsche and it is not only far more obnoxious, but its also runing a euro plate in the stock lit location. I refuse to drill my front bumper. I am not a fan of the 916 bumpers. Unfortunately I am stuck with them for now. Adding a front plate even makes them look more like a fake body kit was installed on the car. Not my scene.
I would call the local/state cops and see what they will accept before drilling anything.
I would rather not drill the front bumper either, and I think the plates take away from the look of the front bumper, but I have no choice, I called the highway patrol , and they said the plates MUST be ATTACHED to the front and back bumper.......ALS0..........I found out that the four fog lights that I have are illegal, they can not be on at the same time, only two at a time.
To tell you the truth, I am surprised the custom paint job on a car is not illegal out here in California. - Oh wait - Jay Leno has custom paint on some of his cars, "we better leave that law alone. But as soon as he gets rid of them , we'll change it and that smog law back that is not making us EXTRA MONEY."
Jamie, nice bracket. I put the cowel scoop on a few months ago, works great !
