License plate on RC F spindle grill?

Yep, you nailed it......showed up today and the license plate was mounted (part of the PDI process). I had them remove it and there are indeed two holes in the bumper now. It's pretty damn hard to see though so I'm not sweating it but it would have been nice to NOT have holes in my bumper since I am a Florida resident with FL tags. Such is life......I'll live though.

Statistically, the odds actually don't increase each day since each day is a new roll of the dice. But it sure feels like the long arm of the law is gonna' reach out and touch you sooner or later. You never know if/when some higher up in PD is gonna' wake up one morning and say to themself, "... we really need to crack down on these scoff-laws without front plates...". It could happen.

That's correct. But not only the flat surface, but the MATERIAL on that surface. You can be picked up by radar by over 2 miles with a front license plate. And less than 1 without, depending on frontal area and headlight design (yes, headlight reflectors are what reflect radar the best after front plate). With the tiny RC-F LED headlamps, I wouldn't be surprised it's just half a mile. At any rate, the main reason I don't put front plates is because they just look like crap (especially in sports cars), AND most require drilling bumper. I haven't put front plates in any of my 4 cars for over 3 decades, and have never been ticketed for that. The good news is you can temporarily install it on the RC-F in minutes, since it already has the plastic (and black at that) screw holders in place. Look for them under the 'L'; they're there on my car.
