Most Drilled Holes For A License Plate Holder You Have Ever Seen!? - Page 7 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Twoblindsheep · 04-21-2013, 01:59 AM

oh gosh... i HATE those front plates.. with the holes... i know with my first camaro i had to get it in MD and they already had the plate on there... and after i took it off since its not required in DE, the holes killed me... now since i had a black camaro you really cant tell there was hole... and ive also told myself that my next camaro im going to make sure there is no front plates. but i was wrong..

got an amazing deal on a 2SS/RS in NJ... and guess what... the front plate was pre-installed at the factory...

sooo instead of just buying another SS bumper.. i went with the Rideskinz... lol

Wow, well I may be contacting you shortly then depending on how the call goes on Monday with the dealership. If you are willing to part with one of your spares at an agreed upon price that is!

Wow 10 holes lol I know it can be repaired, which is good. I'm just thinking that if I buy another bumper (an SS) and then sell this one, if it would equal the same cost as if I just repaired and repainted my bumper to begin with. If its going to wind up being around the same net out of pocket cost in the end, might as well upgrade. It all comes down to that final number.

Oh yea. I did the repair and repaint myself or it would be less to get a new bumper cover w/o holes.

So far Midnighter is in the lead with 10 holes, anybody beat that?

PhoenixZL1 · 04-21-2013, 03:39 PM

That's why front license plates should be abolished in all states. Especially considering they serve an absolutely useless purpose.

A whole lot of politicians, law enforcement people would disagree. Some citizens might argue for abolishing the whole bloated registration process period, since roads are built with fuel tax money for the most part, yet I paid $700 for my plates last year because I drive nice vehicles.

Sorry, I'm getting too deep.

thanks for the photo's now I know NOT to take mine off! Yes, I have been told to only get a body shop to fix it, you cant buy the plugs online to fill that crap. Those plugs are 60.00 for 4 of them, I googled them.
pointless to remove and plug them ourselves, we need to just do body work.

I posted a way to use the factory holder a while back and just flip it with 2 zip tires. Works great.

My dealer does not install brackets on vettes or camaros until they are sold and desired.

I am soooo furious with Minnesota... we are required to drive around with friggin front license plates...
