Front license plate mounting?
I just moved from Michigan to Chicago, so now I have to put on a front plate. I dug out the mount yesterday, but can't figure out how it goes on. Anyone know how to do this?
I took the panel off the front bumper, but don't see how the mount attaches. I have the screws for the plate, and some nail/rivet-looking things. I only have three of these (must have lost one somewhere). Will I be OK if I use just three, or do I absolutely have to have four?

Don't do it!!!!!!!!!!! I'm in Chicago and I had the dealer where I bought mine in Mass. actually...
remove the front mount and give me a new one...I have had the car in Chicago, downtown, where I live and work for a year, and I have not been stopped and that's going down State St where they have cops checking for expired tags and little stuff...My other car I have had for 6 years downtown with a Florida Gator front plate in the front mount instead of the license plate and I have only had one officer pick up on it and that was out by Sandwich, IL with a podunk town sheriff looking for people to pull over from the big city and he just gave me a warning and a lecture. And
yes you have to punch or drill the holes in the front panel piece you removed to atach the bracket...I plan on playing dumb if I get stopped and say I didn't know how to do it and I bought the car out of state, I keep the front plates for both cars in the trunk or back so I can pull it out, and I say I moved from Florida and didn't know... The only thing I have ever been ticketed for is not having my city sticker on the windsheild on either car, and that was just once that I was noticed...I don't even want stickers on my cars.
