Ontario, front plate alternatives?
Hi just looking for feedback on your experience with not having a front plate mounted on your Ontario car. The car looks sooo much better without it.
I know folks that have gone years and no ticket then I have heard others that get ticketed right away. Any other good mounts or options that is a no drill solution? Thanks. |

Here's what works in the states....
Buy a tow hitch mount, put the plate on the mount, but dont mount it in. If you get pulled over, have an "oh shit moment', show the cop the plate on the mount and say that you took it off for the car wash and forgot to put back on... Works pretty well actually... https://www.amazon.com/Dewhel-Hook-L...+license+plate

I'd told my dealer not to drill and put on the front plate as I had a tow hook mount, which on delivery day I forgot to bring with me. Not exaggerating in the least, but I was pulled over literally on my way home from the dealership. The officer believed me when I told him that I'd just picked up the car an hour ago, and let me off with a warning. But he was careful to point out that the warning had been registered in their system, and if I get caught again there would be a ticket involved. |

Ive never run a plate. I seem to get pulled over in the spring, like April/May every year.
This yea rI got pulled over 4 times in 3 weeks, so I ordered a motorized plate bracket. Never did end up installing it before selling the car. I went this route as I dont like the tow hook off center look, nor the one above that drills from the bottom. Reality is, who cares where the holes are if theres always a plate on there? Why not just use the oem bracket if you're keeping a plate on? I like the look of no plate, so the thought process was to be able to put it up when I dont want to deal with the hassle, and down like 95% of the time If anyones interested, Id likely sell it if you pay what I paid for it. Otherwise I'll keep it for a future car.
