Default WTB in OC: JDM Forward Tilt Front License Plate Bracket

Got pulled over for no front plate so I am sucking it up and sticking a front plate on my L-Sportline bumper. Anyone know where to buy, preferrably in South OC. Thanks guys!

Why Not Just Pay The 10 Bucks For The Fix It Ticket?..*

They sell them at Mitsuwa. But I think you should make a temporary bracket instead. Don't drill that nice bumper.

is there a reason for the slanted plates? i've been wondering what the purpose was... all i could come up with is just for looks? or does it direct more air into the radiator?

Thanks Chris! I made an L-Bracket that'll attach to the front but the holes won't be visible but it'll look ghetto.

XtrabOoSt - I don't mind paying the $10 but my mom and gf drives the car as well and I don't want them to get pulled over.

the purpose of the slanted plates is that its said to divert the flash of a camara, and i guess not make it easy to be seen or caught on tape? thats my thought, i remember hearing it on youtube somewhere...

im telling you .. that youtube has the answers to everything!!

btw im trying to get one of these also, i got a ticket pending =(

There's a Mitsuwa in Costa Mesa off Bristol near South Coast. I am heading there this weekend.

I hope to find this one -

Yeah I was there today picking up some lugnuts from the auto store. There's one issue of VIPCar left so you might want to pick that up too. I think I saw that bracket there if not a similar one.
