if you look close (i know its a terrible pic, ill get better ones up if ppl are interested) you can see how the plate is just screwed right into the pre drilled holes for the bumper, and it looks like its floating on it, then the bottom is folded under, not blocking any part of the grill! Theres no plastic frame, no holder, nothing, i think its a lot cleaner looking than anything else ive seen, im not a fan of the ones that actually cover the grill, and i really dont like mounting it not directly on center. Just an idea for you guys who need a plate like us Jersey ppl!

I will take my chances with a fix-it ticket before I drill into my car.

You wont have to drill anything, thats given that the dealer drilled your plate holder frame into the bumper, which they did on mine. The only thing youd have to do is punch 2 holes thru your license plate with a scredriver.

Check to see if your dealer drillled the holes, if they did and you like it go for it!

I could see the cops stopping you for that because they can't see Garden State at the bottom of the plate. I know they use to bug people for having license plate frames that cover that portion of the plate.
