front license plate on aftermarket bumper

[Trick.Raptor]

I've been thinking about this... how about machining a aluminum clamp to the bumper then mounting your plate? Like Rick I would use it while on road then take it off while off-road.

I had mine zip tied to my grill.. but it looked ugly and ended up scratching up the plastic. Made some mounts to bolt to the skid plate and can easily take off when i go off-road.

Mine is zip-tied to the driver's side of the bumper. I rolled the lower corner of the plate around the bumper tube.

I'm in MA also, I would have the plate handy in the cab. Throw it up on the dash if you get pulled over. Tell them your waiting on a permanent mount . Pay the fine if they call your bluff. just my $.02

Both of my 4x4's (including the Raptor) have winches. I use a hawse license plate bracket. Works great and gives a clean look. No idea if you are planning on running a winch or not, but if you do it's an easy problem to solve.

Kaiser, has your forum name always been red? Also, I think it is against state law to 'modify' the plate like that...

my front plate is on my passenger sun visor. no leo issues so far.

Nope, changed yesterday.

Nope, I'm good - you can read all of the number and all of the state, all that is required.

Sec. 504.945. WRONG, FICTITIOUS, ALTERED, OR OBSCURED LICENSE PLATE. (a) A person commits an offense if the person attaches to or displays on a motor vehicle a license plate that:

(5) has blurring or reflective matter that significantly impairs the readability of the name of the state in which the vehicle is registered or the letters or numbers of the license plate number at any time;

(6) has an attached illuminated device or sticker, decal, emblem, or other insignia that is not authorized by law and that interferes with the readability of the letters or numbers of the license plate number or the name of the state in which the vehicle is registered; or

(7) has a coating, covering, protective substance, or other material that:
--(A) distorts angular visibility or detectability;
--(B) alters or obscures one-half or more of the name of the state in which the vehicle is registered; or
--(C) alters or obscures the letters or numbers of the license plate number or the color of the plate.

I am a little sad that you can't see USS Texas with it mounted this way.... But, my preference to not have it hang below the bumper is stronger.

That looks like the LGE/CTS bumper. How do you like it? Asking because I am in the market for a new bumper....

I have mine bolted to the body underneath the front of the fender
