Front Number Plate
Long story short, I got pulled over for not having a front number plate. I got a fix-it ticket.
Is there a way to put on a front number plate without drilling holes? I read about some zip-ties way on the forum. Anyone aware of this method or any other non-drilling method?
Any help would be appreciated. I really don't want to drill holes in my car!

I say I seriously doubt there is a way to place a front plate without drilling in holes for something...at worse even self tapers can be used I think if long enough.
I removed my front plate but its a matter of putting back the plate holder...

go plateless, here's the logic
1.police drive behing u most of the time, they cant see the plateless front
2.if the police are driving against u in oncoming traffic and they see your plateless front, they dont know that u might have Florida plates
3.the police are NOT going to do a K-turn in heavy traffic to give u a ticket for the plateless front. by the time they make a K-turn, they will be behind a few other cars and you will look in the rear view and notice them turn around, so u make the next logical step and turn the corner and get lost in the crowd of other cars. the swine will see u gone and wonder why they wasted their time doing the k-turn and will go buy some dunkin donuts
i wonder how they saw and stopped u, unless u were sleeping and not vigilant of where the PO-lice are at, its all about who sees the other first, if u see the swine first try to avoid them, remember a PO-lice car has to be BEHIND YOU to give you a ticket, just dont let a pig get on your back because its hard to remove them, thats why they invented the captive bolt pistol which the antagonist uses in no country for old men. it was made to slay pigs.

LOLOL.. +1 on that one...
And Sunn dude, relax on the pig and swine descripters..i run w/o a front and actually had a police car roll up beside me at a light and he asked why i didn't have a front plate..i passed him before that so I am assuming that is where he saw me.... I was cool and polite and just mentioned the truth that i didn't want to make any holes.
This guy must have been cool cause his response was "i don't blame ya, but can't say all coppers will except that excuse..but all the same nice car" and we both took off.. I am figuring he had a nice ride at home and could relate..
