So, I just purchased an M6 GC and being in NY we are required to have a front plate. I was never one to put it on but parking anywhere in NYC, you?re almost guaranteed to come back with a bright orange envelope on your windshield. This company doesn?t make the bracket for the M6, so I purchased the M5 version they have. Turns out, it didn?t fit right (blocked the kidney grills a bit), so we had to do a little custom welding. Pics and link to amazon below!

Also, for those of you who are not familiar with this bracket: It has a little ring that you pull on to release the plate so that your car can still look good.

I'm a NYS resident, I haven't had a front license plate on my 2004 350Z 'vert since I bought it; ditto the 650. I guess if you have to have one, this is a good solution.

suck it up and pay the ticket, it'll be a once in a lifetime thing and it'll be less than that license plate bracket I'd bet

I can count at least a dozen No Front Plate tickets in the last year alone.
