Default license holder on a 03 coupe

I got a 03 accord coupe lx. I just removed the whole license holder from the front bumper. Damn! there is a drilled hole on the bumper. I'm not sure if it's done by the manufacturer or the dealer.

It's done by the dealer - I bough t my car in Jersey - but I live in PA where they don't require front plates - so mine had to go, of course - and boom - there's a hole staring me in the face. It sux - but I'll live with it. I'm actually planning on mounting a remote radar detector sensor there now a-la by Valantine One

I just bought a new 03 Coupe in California where front plates are required. Since the plates aren't here yet, I took the front plate holder off. There are no holes in my front bumper. The plate holder is attached to the bumper by two screws which are on the upper portion of the cutout in the bumper. I wish I had a digital camera so I could post a picture of it.

Your Ferrari magnet will help you to evade more tickets. The V1 works better the higher up it is...the bumper is a horrible place for it and will result in a greatly decreased effectiveness. Plus you won't be able to detect anything from behind. So please don't
