No Speedster in CA is running a front tag. Has anyone ever got the fix-it ticket for this?
i don't know about in CA, but here- if you get pulled over - the cop can give you a Vehicle inspection for pretty much any reason.
and with these cars - you don't want a VI.
suffice to say - up here - i'll be running a front plate.

Don't do it!!! You bought a beautiful car that I was almost on my way to Visalia to buy myself. Don't ruin it with a front license plate. That would be like painting a mustache on the Mona Lisa!
Uh ...

I know this will start WWIII, but I have been driving mine for two years all over SOCAL, with no front plate and a vintage '57 license plate. Even got pulled over for speeding, not ticket for the missing plate nor the vintage one. Living dangeriously in cali...

Aloha David (nice car)-
How is your front plate bracket attached? Is the bracket installed using the same holes as the rubber deco-strip (behind the aluminum strip)? Or did you drill new holes for this purpose!
Peace - Out!

Does anyone have a front plate mounted on a Speedster having nerf bars instead of bumpers? Pictures?
Jim Ignacio, I had to drill 2 holes in the front of the bumper above the deco-rubber trim. I really didnot want to mount the front plate. But I got a ticket on my Ford Lightning and it just not worth alway getting pulled over! Too much Hawaii Five O in Hawaii!

I used a 928 front plate bracket from the 80s, both with and without the bumper. Two holes, right in the center of the bumper, and then two holes right in front of the nose. I centered the holes in the nose on a line with the bottoms of the horn grilles, measured halfway, and then measured out from center to the two holes in the plate and centered them up. Much less painful than hanging the rear plate.
Here's one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Porsche-79-to-86-928-License-Plate-Holder_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ34204QQihZ002QQitemZ120128489716QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWD1V
The 928 bracket is "H" shaped, and really easy to mount with quarter-twenty bolts. Badda-Bing. I think it was Alan's advice to turn the drill backward to get through the GelCoat, and then run it normally to finish the holes.

I didn't find the more recent discussion about this with a search - probably buried in thread drift.
The brackets from these folks may work:

They have some other interesting stuff too, including a Hoopty shifter.
Even though they are in Taiwan, shipping is only $5 per item.
