Front License Bracket - 3/2/2005 12:28:54 PM    mlaccord   Posts: 10 Joined: 3/2/2005 Status: offline I just bought a 2000 Accord Coupe that doesn't have a front license bracket on the bumper. I am moving to California, where it is required to have a front license. Is there a good solution to adding a front bracket for the license WITHOUT DRILLING into the bumper? Does Honda even have a OEM (no drill) bracket? And if I have to drill into the bumper, do I have to worry about hitting any sensors in the bumper, i.e. airbag sensors, etc? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, MLaccord 00 Accord Coupe 43K Post #: 1

I think that I would ask a dealer about this one! Does your car have body colored plastic bumper covers? If so, perhaps there are tapped holes behind it that were not extended through the plastic bumper cover?! < Message edited by RTexasF -- 3/6/2005 7:59:31 AM > (in reply to mlaccord) Post #: 2

The dealership lil liscence cover actually looks pretty nice. (in reply to remington870_20ga) Post #: 10
