New Owner! Front Plate Question

[stuntmanmike]

Finally have possession of a black/black 1990 from SoCal, now in Hudson Valley, NY. Car has 11k miles and is great! I sold a 1993 Mustang Cobra to purchase this car and it is definitely a completely different and superior driving experience, especially on mountain roads.

I changed the headlight motors, put Nitto G2s on (thanks for recommendations on this board), and have to take the radio/amps out for repair.

I'd love to leave the front without a license plate, but the car will be roaming in an over-policed area and a cop is sure to bust chops if I don't eventually mount it.

Tried searching but didn't find - is there a kit or way to mount without drilling? Currently there is a black painted "Corvette" filler piece in the plate area, which looks original.

Thanks,
Mike

Bought rebuilt headlight motors from Atlantic Corvette Parts on ebay, I'd recommend the guy. Good price at $85 and come with warranty, parts came fast via priority mail, case is nicely bead blasted and repainted.
Headlights failed during state inspection so was a good alternative to rebuilding myself.

the filler plate has 2 screws to remove it and that should expose the mounting for a front plate

These are torx head screws and visble if you shine a flashlight under the bottom gap of license plate filler piece.

I moved to Florida to avoid running front plates and live and work in VA. Yes. I have been paying Fairfax County, VA property tax (for road usage I am told). :mrgreen:

The screws Jeff is referring to are under the front you will have to get low to see the, if I remember they are torx 15?.... You can also add back a clear cover to retain the bumper couture.

One thing about California, the police do not have time to write a ticket for no plate.

Great, thanks guys!

Not sure about NY, but in MN if you get collector plates you don't need to mount a front plate.
