License Plate Removal?

Shawneebear93 · May 31, 2004

How do I go about removing the front license plate holder on my '93 LX? Ive been fiddling with it a while but haven't gotten anywhere.

Also ... what about that long piece of (black) plastic under the front (stock)ground effects? I haven't looked at this yet but figured while I was posting this Id ask.

I don't know about the plate holder (the Commonwealth of Virginia dictates mandatory use of the front license plate), but my brother says that the black plastic piece beneath the front end helps to direct air or create a vacuum or somehow assist in cooling the radiator since the stang does'nt have a grill like other vehicles(and my brother knows everything don't take that off!)

I wouldn't take it off if I were you. I got pulled over last week for not having my front plate on......among other things.

even though it looks a lot better with it off, i wouldn't risk it

Funny, I've had my front plate off for about ten years and never been hassled for it.

No front plate in KY, IN, or MI. I know personally I lived in 2 of them and deal with idiots from the third on the road daily when i lived in both areas. Pull the bumper and get the nuts off from the inside of the holder. I cut mine off and then filled the holes with melted plactic then sanded it off and repainted it.

Is it the law to have a front plate in minnesota? anyone know off the top of there head?

OK, LOL, this is simple guys if the liscence buero gave you 2 plates 1 for the back and 1 for the front then it is the law to have them both on the car. If they give you only 1 place it on the back and be happy and you can legeally remove the front holder.

That's using your noodle

Its legal in PA to not have a front license plate. Any suggestions on how to get it off.

break out your socket set , lay on your back and take out the retaining bolts and your good to go. I've had mine off and havent been hassled for it, though im not positive its needed now that they have banned speed traps in so-cal? i dont know any cops who can read plates from there rear view mirrors

No front plates needed in NC. The front plate bracket is one of the first things I took off of my car when I got it.

Well, if you DO take it off, mail it to me, I could use one for my '93LX

92Frankenstein · Jun 2, 2004

I heard it was a mud and rock guard so it would prevent road items such as dirt rocks, snow, ice a little bit better. When I bought my car it was half hanging off so I just cut the rest off. Looks better now. I say its safe to rip off.
