Does anyone know where to buy one of those front license plate brackets for the 350Z that mounts in the front tow hitch? I saw one on a Z a while back, and it is very slick. You can just pop it out and replace that little section of the grille that covers the tow hitch anytime you want. And you don't have to drill any holes in your front bumper.
The reason I want one is the following:
In the last 25 years, I have gotten 3 tickets for no front plate on various cars in California. It was always a fix-it ticket with no fine. You just put on the front license plate, get it inspected and the ticket signed off at the Highway Patrol office, send the ticket to the court and you are done. Then you go home and take off the front plate.
NEW AND UGLY DEVELOPMENT: This week I got a parking ticket for no front plate on my 350Z while parked on the street in the Little Tokyo section of downtown L.A. It was a $25 fine, and no requirement to fix it. Those government bureaucrats finally wized up. I am not going to risk a $25 ticket every time I park on the street. So I guess I am a defeated man after all these years, and have to wear that silly front license plate that mars the look of the Z.
The only reason the city and the cops care about the front license plate is that it is needed for those red light camera tickets. They need a picture of your face and license plate together.
UGH!!!
Thanks.
