Kizashi!

I won't do it, because I won't drill holes in my front bumper.

Get one of these:

Ziptie it to your grille, and then screw your plate into that. That's what I do. It looks silly but at least I don't have holes in my bumper.

You could get a magnetic plate like dealerships use.  Just glue a nice strong magnet on the back/inside of the front bumper that the plate could stick to well enough.  If the magnet's strong enough, you could probably even put a piece of soft cloth or something between the plate and the paint to make sure it doesn't get scratched up.

I might just end up doing it, my front bumper has so many rock chips in it already. Plus, my dad put a hole in it when I was in India.

You should be ghetto and stick it in the corner of your windshield.

Congrats. The Kizashi is a really intriguing car.

I think it will serve you much better than the Saab did.

Or use some 3M emblem/trim adhesive tape.  Removable in the long run, and it should hold the plate pretty well if applied properly in strategic spots.

Nah, not the front plate mount, the badge on the back.  My car had a sticker and I told them to remove it or I wouldn't take delivery.  I let them put on a license plate holder instead. 

You went easy on 'em. My mom wouldn't even let VW of Hamilton, NJ put a plate frame on. 

I have a plate frame on the back of the LR2 from the dealership in Princeton, but pretty sure I'm going to take it off before summer. Since I live in an area that gets a lot of tourists, you'll be targeted for some revenue generation if they think you're from another part of the state. And technically, a plate frame is illegal in N.J., and if you're a tourist at the Jersey Shore, you'll get to know that law very fast.

Most people around here actually put "LOCAL" or anti-tourist bumper stickers on their car to delineate themselves from the invaders.

Wow, pricks.

[TurboDan]

Wow, pricks.

Eh. If you lived here year-round and had to deal with the likes of the tourists we get (Snooki and The Situation and crew - only literally hundreds of thousands of them at once, treating everyone like shit and disrespecting your town and your neighbors like it was their job) you'd see what I mean.

I had a LOCAL sticker on the Passat. I'll probably throw one on the LR2 after Memorial Day.

If you don't have some sort of "residue remover" use WD-40. Seriously.

Cooking spray like Pam also works, believe it or not.

This should work.

Why not put it in the car where the dashboard and windshield meet!? In OH, the plate just needs to be visible, not shown on the outside. I did that on my Neon for as long as I had it.

[TBR]

Because that looks as tacky as hell.

I'd rather not have a sharp metal plate protruding 2 feet in front of me while I drive.

Yeah it does.

Also a good point.

Plate frames are illegal in New Jersey?  Man, that's a dumb state.  If it weren't for Atlantic City, I'd never have a reason to go into Jersey.

You also can't pump your own gas. It also has the highest real estate taxes in the nation (some would argue the world). And when you finally decide to leave, there's an "exit tax" to the state government. Dumbest state in the union.

Generally, all of the wacky things done in New Jersey are related, in one way or another, to serving the inner city political machines in two northern counties. There have been many occasions (including a ballot initiative 30 years ago) where the eight southern counties have talked about seceding. I wish they would, since I live in one of them.

Wait wait wait, what?!

Scroll down to where it says "NONRESIDENT - GROSS INCOME TAX"

Chapter 55 now requires for transactions occurring on or after August 1, 2004 nonresident individuals, estates or trusts that sell or transfer real property in New Jersey to make an estimated Gross Income Tax payment prior to the recording of the deed. The payment must be remitted to the Division of Taxation Prior to closing or can be made at closing.

It can be as much as 2 percent of the total. So it's not necessarily an "exit tax," but it was created in order to punish those who were selling their homes and leaving the state – which taxPAYERS do in droves. Tax CONSUMERS flock to NJ because of the gravy train the political machines in two counties provide them with our tax dollars.

You could've just kept the Saab if that's all you were going to use it for.
