I’d say thanks dad if he wasn’t in heaven

I’m going through this same situation and felt totally clueless, so thank you for this!!

You make it seem to easy and doable! Thank you so much! I've been procrastinating on doing mine for over a month and now I will get it done! Thank you again so much!!! You are a great teacher.

This video matches my exact situation - my car spent 15 years in another state that didn’t require front plates. Thanks for posting

THANK YOU!!! My daughter has her driving test tomorrow and I needed to do this in order for her to take the test on my car. 😊👏🏽

Thank you for short and very detailed instructions from LA!

This is a great video. In depth but to the point. Thank you so much!

So, if you get the bracket that's meant for your car specifically, you'll notice that there's dimples on the front bumper. This is on any newer vehicle that I've seen. Those are literally the drill points on the bumper in order for it to be centered if you're using the correct bracket, opposed to just adding it directly to the front bumper.

Yeah my 2020 Hyundai Tucson came with a front license plate mount by the spare tire. I was looking for the mounting point and it’s just held in with one self tapping screw, and it’s molded to fit the front bumper (with indents for where it’s supposed to be mounted). Then you would put the license plate on the mount.

That’s where you have to drill

This seems like a simple video but it was really helpful. Thanks!

Thank you! Simple and informative. I appreciate it. I just moved from a back only license state to a dual and realized there is no holder for it up front!

I was worried I'd damage sensors and such behind the plastic of the bumper. I used heavy duty all weather zip ties and secured them thru the upper and lower grills going behind the bumper.

Excellent. I didn't realize the screws simply screw into the bumper plastic itself and not into a nut or thread behind the bumper. Note, don't overtightened the screws, else you'll easily strip the plastic

I got a factory bracket that added rubber which sticks to the back of the bracket for tightness. I don't trust peel & stick but with gorilla glue added it will not come off. Plus it came with soft inserts to the bumper which tightens when you screw the plate on, it's very firm.

Thanks for the information.

Thank you !! That was helpful 🙂

Thanks buddy! Really appreciate the tips!

The bottom portion of that license plate, you can secure by using industrial or construction velcro. It is almost permanent.

Same situation. Very helpful

What about the nut that goes behind the screw?

Thanks guy. I moved from PA to NJ

Thank you so much 😭 My dad never taught me these things!

Thank you!!

Good video !

thanks from Ontario !

How far in do you go when you drill the holes?

Anything holding the screws behind the bumper?

What? You can screw the bracket directly into the bumper?

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU ! ! !

Thank you. I just wish you showed when you actually drilled into the bumper. Cuz I'm worried about doing that

I understand. I'm sorry I started rolling the video after I had already drilled the holes. If you are comfortable using a drill, you should be fine based off the drill bit I suggested and where you mark the holes. If you are uncomfortable at all and have a reliable mechanic, you could take it to them as well and they usually would install your license plate for free. Thanks for watching!

@@SumukhComedy thank you yes I decided to do it and it worked out perfect. The key is to have the right drill bit and the right screws which I did. Thank you

Thank you!

What kind of screws are you using? Is it just tapping into the plastic bumper? I would think that is not strong enough in the long run?

@SumukhComedy

As I mentioned, these are license plate screws that are available in any auto parts store. There are also nuts provided for extra security. You could also attach velcro at the back for additional strength. Thanks for watching!

@@SumukhComedy I cant easily get to the back to use a nut. Do you have a link to the screws? All the license plate screws I have seen need a nut attached behind the bumper to work.

See those dimples at the 4 o"clock & 7 o'clock position from your holes?

Thanks dad❤

Nice Info

Thanks, internet Dad

I'm an HVAC guy. Could I just use zip screws?

My car has the plate bracket already on. Do I need to take it off completely to install my plate Or do they just pop right in

@SumukhComedy

I don't know your specific circumstances/car and it depends upon the bracket I suppose but usually the plate still needs to be screwed in with the bracket to ensure it is secure. Thanks for watching.

Smart move with the tape

Fine; but where is the actual or sample license plate and holes for it?

Make sure you use proper size drill bit formthe screw

I’m a teen(so I’m broke) and I got into a minor crash yesterday where my front plate was hanging and we had to take it off, and I live in a state where you need a front one Long story short I need to fix mine, thank you

Жыл бұрын

If you have an electric drill, you should have a variety of different sized drill bits that you could put into the drill to drill in a hole. What I meant in the video was to use a 7/32" drill bit. If you do not have an electric drill or have knowledge on using one, then I suggest having someone with that knowledge install your plate for you. Thank you for watching.

If you are concerned at all with doing this, then go to a reputable mechanic to do this for you. As pointed out by a commenter, many car manufacturers actually have perforations on the front bumper to indicate where you should drill the holes into (which should prevent your concern). This is a video for those who want to do it themselves and save time & money but, again, if you feel any concerns with it, I always encourage viewers to do what is most comfortable for you and go to a professional if that is what's best. Thanks for watching!

Maybe remember to include what size drill bit, or what kind, and how they come about obtaining it. Video is great, but guys that don't know shit will still have questions. I understand the content and its great ….but there's a lot that search these videos that need more details. I'm curious as to why you didn't use a nut on the backside? Is it not necessary for the bumper material....I have no experience drilling through a new sports car bumper that's why I'm here.

That you

only criticism is you didnt show how the license plate fits in there.

The single most important thing is the kind of screws you are using..?

Thanks!

But the license plate isn’t on lol

It would be a 10 second Tik Tok video. No wonder it is so popular.

Johnny homeowner way of incorrectly installing a plate. It’s to high and will catch your knee when serving the motor and the bottom is hanging in a ridiculous fashion. Velcro really come on you guys go to Toyota or go online and find an aftermarket bracket year make and model specific so it follows the contour of the bumper and It won’t fall off. Velcro good lord

I ruined our bumper drilling holes for nothing after watching this video. Look down lower and you will find two original screw brackets where a frame goes. You don't have to drill holes. Now I have to find a way to fill the two holes.

You can buy hole plugs to match your car paint. I bought some for my Prius when my state no longer required a front plate and my wife like the clean look. The problem was that you have to drill the holes larger to accept the plugs. That seemed kind of stupid to me. I would have to use bigger screws to reinstall the plate bracket in the future. I eventually just ground down the beauty plugs to fit the original holes. It works fine but it doesn't look that much better. PS, most cars sold in states that don't require front plates will not have predrilled holes in the front facia.

There's better ways to so this

Very helpful! I just moved to WA from AZ and was not expecting to receive two license plates. 🫠lol
