thx for the help.
Did you get a Fix-It Ticket or a Fine Ticket?

Not too sure about the license mount that you are referring to. Is it this one?

I have mine bended, with only the Letters and Numbers showing, and zip-tied it to the bumper mesh grille.

If you insist on not having the bumper drilled (not getting the license plate installed correctly), next time you get a ticket like that, just tell the cop that the dealership didn't drill the bumper for you and yourself is not skilled to do it. Tell him you are not aware of the law, and you will get it fixed asap. Hopefully the cop will give you a Fix-It Ticket.

Thanks for all your help guys. that is the site i was looking for.

p.s i did not get a fix it ticket, the lady cop gave me a $109.00 ticket and she told me to dispute the ticket when it makes it to the court she will let me go. but for now she has to give me the ticket. it sucks but i need to have it fixed before i go dispute the ticket, and i just paid like $300 to get my front bumper fixed when i took off the plate. so there is no way in hell i would drill new screws into my car again.

Pay the ticket and leave the front plates off. I had 5 moving violation tickets on my c230 and only got written up once for not having plates in front.

Yeah that sucks. I had two tickets just because my license plate (bent to show just the letters + numbers) caught the attention of the officer....ended up giving me a fine for the plate, side marker, and the "N" sign

Post pictures of how the frame looks..i might order myself a set as well

lol... i might be down for another set too because even though they were made durable, but they dont' last forever and i always have feeling people walk by will kick it on step on it because they rarely see a side mount license plate with only 1 screw unlike the "EVO" have them "drill-on"

i like those guy on gominigo.com, i placed my order then 2 days later they are right at my door perfect timing before i got court date
