Front license plate bracket?
Hi everyone, I'm new here. Just got my Fit Sport a couple days ago, it's a Storm Silver Metallic manual (of course)!
I bought the car in Atlanta where front license plates are not required, but I live in Chicago where they ARE required. I called a local dealership and they can get me a front plate bracket for about $27 or so. I thought that seemed a little expensive... Can these be bought online for a discount price or will I have to go through a dealer? I looked online for a while but couldn't find anything.
Also is this something I can install myself? I'm not the handiest guy in the world but I can use most tools.
Or, does anyone have one that they are not using? I'd be happy to take it off your hands!
Thanks and I'm loving these forums!!

Hi John! Here in Calgary we don't require a front plate either, but when I move to Victoria I will need one too... anyway, my front plate bracket was included with my car. It seems really odd that you would have to buy one... but maybe in the States the bracket is not included... maybe check where your spare tire is, if you haven't already, you might just get lucky!
Otherwise, go and demand a free one!!!

I was thinking $10 would be a reasonable price, but $30? Come on...
I'll look into the plate relocator thing too...
