anyone know how i can mount my plate to my front bumper without drilling into the bumper? right now i got 2 pull ties holding it into the lower grill. sorry no pic, gotta get my cuzins digi camera.

just look at my other post where i had the pics of my car. and look at the front bumper, lower grill.

any ideas? i thought bout the magnet idea, but cant find a magnetic spot on the front...

 

You dont need a magnetic spot on the front RS... you just glue magnets behind the bumper, so any spot becomes magnetic Check out that post of Jests... looked pretty sweet.

 

i feel that, basically magnet behind the bumper, then i can stick that **** on. ill check jests post, thanks dude

 

Yeppers, I think he had magnets on both the inside of the bumper, and on the liscence plate backing, those earth magnets are crrrrrrazy.

 

DAMN! I wish I had though of/seen Jests post prior to drilling into my bumper. Now I gotta drop $150.00 for a new piece, PLUS whatever magnets costs these days...

 

haha yeah the magnet industry is sky rocketing! lol. I think its www.rare-earth-magnets.com

they arent so expensive, until you scroll to the bottom... and one magnet pulls with like 40 lbs of force, they are like 10 bucks a magnet.

 

$10.00 ain't bad. The $150.00 for the new bumber piece is gonna take some planning...

 

well its 10 per magnet... so i'd want at least 8, one for each corner, on the bumper side, and the plate side.

but there are lesser magnets, that are way cheaper... you just use more of them. but like a 5 pack of them was 8 bucks or so.

can you find that bumper piece at a wreckers?

 

It been a few months since I checked (i looked to C what it would run when I first mangled it with my handy dremel), but I think that IS the stripyard price. Stealer wants 2-something... Anyway, not a project for today. Maybe late summer/early fall. I've got time to shop around.

 

my car had a plate holder on the front when i bought it. i wish it didn't, b/c here in PA front plates aren't required, and i'd rather not have the plate holder on. But i don't know what to do with the holes in the front fender. Maybe i'll just get a cool plate for it.

how about this...?
