I believe many of us, including myself used a 3/16 to drill through. I never plugged mine as they are hardly noticeable. Just take your time.

Oh sweet thanks!!

Use some of the plastic plugs that hold the trim pieces in place in the trunk and places like that. I had some in a drawer and used those. Had to make the hole a bit oval but it is almost impossible to see. I use a Stow-n-Show for the plate when I go on the highway.





They don't look it but those are black plastic. Get them at the dealer or some auto parts will have them.

Awesome! When I have the time I will remove it! I have some plugs I think....

If you really can't stand the front plate holes left over, you could always get a new lower grille. In a few months we're finally getting rid of our front plates in my state and I'm thinking this over.

As I live in a two plate country we have to have the front plate. I used velcro to fix the plate. it hold perfect even at high speed.
when you zoom in you see the velcro.

Has anyone removed a front plate bracket from a 2019? From the dealer pictures, it looks like the bozo's installed the bracket already. Is it going to leave holes?

Anyone try to remove one from a 2019? Will it leave holes? I'm am driving a ways to buy one and it looks like the dealer has already added the bracket.

I've been living in no-front plate states for the past 12 years.. can't stand the look with plates, especially with a sharp front like Vettes, Camaros, etc.

Ohio has had a front plate requirement since the beginning, but at the end of last year our state legislature slipped the change in law into a bill that our governor had to sign for what the main part of the bill was about. Law enforcement and the nannies were all up in arms, it went through some challenges, but our governor signed it.

Our front plate requirement legally ends June 1st of this year.

Earlier this year some state rep down in the remote portions of the state was trying to drum up support to make the front plate required again. And I think with the LEOs he might have gotten the support...... then covid hit. And put the kabosh on everything.

So, as of June 1st, Ohio will no longer require a front plate!!

No worries though: when I picked up my Camaro I asked the dealer not to install the bracket and they were completely cool. It's still in the factory wrapper in my garage.

I am in SoCal as well. It's kinda a double edged sword. I typically do not run front plates on my more sporty cars but I do on my trucks or anything that it doesn't detract from the look.

The good -- I have been pulled over for speeding or another moving violation and received a fix-it ticket for no front plate more than once. NOT having the front plate saved me here.

The bad -- I have been pulled over for no front plate by a cop that was going the opposite direction and then ticketed for the plate plus anything else he could find on inspection: tinted windows, modified smog equipment, etc., also more than once. HAVING the front plate would have saved me here.

It's a toss up here in CALI.

No holes will be there it is clamped on

I live in SoCal as well (LA County). The dealer where I purchased my car already mounted the bracket so I do have the front plate on. I agree it's a toss up but I have a personalized plate so no big deal.

Years ago, I had a Honda Civic (totally stock commuter car, non-ricer) and a cop ticketed me, with a fine of course, at the extended parking lot at LAX (I was out-of-town). Step forward a couple of weeks while I was waiting for replacements, I was pulled over by the LAX police while driving thru the upper level to pick someone up. Specifically pulled me over for no front plate.

My 2016 had two screws holding in the bracket, then reinserted the screws. You can see them in a photo in my garage

[ualreadyknow209]

So I've drilled out 4 rivets on my 2021 LT1. But it's still stuck on there? Any ideas? Is there an adhesive? Hidden river??

[RockySS]

I actually screwed in a couple of black painted screws. No one will ever notice.
