ok well for a while i havent had my front license plate on my 3gee. today i decided i'd put it back on. i put it on with the mount that's under the bumper. i dunno, check it out. anyone elses car come with one of these mounts? its almost as if they knew what i'd need, a hidden plate mount.

Hmm... I thought mine was just bent... I want to take mine off completely when I get my car painted, is it legal to just put it in the window or does that depend on the state?

they are just the bottom mounts for the regular location
they look like garbage sticking out properly so people just bend them in

i had a plate on there and removed it a while back

I don't need a front plate here so i got rid of the two mounting holes in the middle of the bumper when I redid it,I would think mounting it down low would block airflow to the radiator,since it breathes from under the bumper.

That would be illegal here, since the license plate is not properly displayed.

Here you would get a ticket, guaranteed.

Peace.

ok, well finally i have time to post up some more pix. anyway, last night i thought it really wasnt too great of an idea to have the plate angled down, so i just moved the mount back to the middle hole. now its visible so i dont get a stupid ticket. maybe once i get the front lip i want it'll look better. i think i'm just going to order a new one if i cant find one at the junk yards. oh and its the bumper that came on the 86-87 sedan and all years of the hatch.
