i just got a jdm license plate...but i don't want to drill into my bumper. what does everyone use to mount front plates? btw, i want to mount mine off to the side.

interesting notion. because i have a jdm front bumper (not on the car)

i wonder if the tabs are different for the front license plate? cause the usdm ones are not as wide.

i might have to check that. but i don't think you can get away with not drilling unless you use some good double sided tape

poop. i see some relocation kits on ebay for 97-01 preludes and other cars...but none for the bb4's. i wouldn't mind drilling to install one of those...but i don't want to drill right into the front of the bumper.

looking to do something like this:

To do that you have to make a custom bracket or use one of those ebay ones and drill into the bumper. You can drill into the grill area so you don't see it. Problem is with a 4th gen prelude you can only relocate the plate so far over. You'll block the jdm/oem foglights if you have them. Any further over and you'll block your turn signals.

Hmm...I don't have fogs at the moment and I suppose covering part of the turn signals wouldn't be much of a problem. Are there stock brackets for mounting it in the center? I know my Civic came with one, but I removed it. I may try placing that on my Prelude.

^yes there are oem brackets. if you look under the bumper, you will see it. you need the oem license plate and the two metal clips.

Know of anyone who has a plate and clip set lying around?
