Installing License Plate On Car
Not every car comes equipped with pre-drilled holes in the front bumper, which makes it a bit tricky to attach a license plate. Some drivers even prefer to leave the front bumpers of their cars free of any license plates. There are some states, however, that require license plates installed on the front bumpers of all vehicles. This doesn't necessitate drilling holes to attach a license plate; actually, it is relatively simple to attach a license plate to the front bumper--all you need is a no-holes license plate bracket kit, available from your car manufacturer.

Expose the tow hook mounting point by removing the cap. This is usually found on the passenger's side of the front bumper. Use a flat-head screwdriver or a removal tool, if included in the kit. Be sure to keep the cap in a place safe, such as the glove compartment, in case you would like to reinstall it later.

Step 3
Attach the license plate bracket to the bolt, then use the lock washer to tighten the bracket in place. Be sure that the license plate bracket is level before tightening the lock washer.
Step 4
Determine the height that you would like the plate to be on the bumper and then attach the Optional License Plate Height Adjustment bracket to the already fastened bracket, using the washers and lock nuts included in the kit. Be sure that you attach these brackets at identical heights on the left and right sides of the main bracket.
Attach your license plate to the bracket, using the screws, washers, nuts and wrenches included in the installation kit. Note that for many kits you may need to bend the bracket and plate slightly in order for the plate to sit flat.

Hey all, I recently bought a new subaru legacy, but bought it out of state that doesn't require front plates. I am back to a state that does require it (NY), I need to get them installed.
A local repair shop asked for 30 FRICKIN dollars for getting the plate installed- at that rate I want to do it myself, but need some help/advice.
Fahrenheit indigo prophecy download. Apparently there is an indentation located at the front of the car that is made for the legacy, but I cannot find it. Also it seems that I will need more than the screws to keep the plate in place? (frame, plastic spacers, etc?)
Can any of you give me help in how to install, AND also the place that can get me the cheapest plate frame/screws/etc that I need?
Thanks everybody.
