    License Plate Mounting

    Quick question, I need to mount a license plate on the front of my car for a "no front plate" ticket (VA FTL). I have never had a plate mounted on this car and the holes that line up with the U.S. plate (not the obvious red holes) aren't threaded. I don't have time to get a bracket, so does anyone have any ideas on how I can mount this thing up?

    Picture for reference..

      Yes, the red holes are threaded, however; my license plate holes don't line up with them.

        Drill holes into the plate itself that match up with the threaded holes on the car. Did that for my Texas license plate.

          You can pick up a front plate holder at the junkyard or on eBay.

              You have a Volvo lip and a missing high beam, so my guess is that it will be mounted via zip ties and Elmer's school glue to the far right.

                  Yeah just ziptie it on and call it good. I wouldn't drill holes in your car.

                  Well, posterity, you will never know what it cost us to preserve your freedom. I only hope that you will make a good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in heaven that I ever took half the pains to preserve it.
