I thought i was fiarily machenically inclined after fully restoring a 66' mustang but i cant figure out how to get the front licends plate hloder off of my 06 cobalt ls. I konow its not legal where i live (ca) to not have a front licends plate but half the people in my town dont have one so any help would be sweet.
Thanks ,Tim.

 

Even worse than that...............In Canada we've got to have a front plate. So My dad decides to put one of those plastic covers over my front plate while I've gone on vacation to Mexico. I come back to find out there's a big giant spider web in front of my plate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He must have crawled up under the plastic plate!!!!!!!!!! Well I hosed him out but the plate has to go.

 

i took mine off!! u need to drill out the rivits theres 3 of them!! they make a perfect triangle u cant even see the holes

 

oh they are rivits thats where i was messed up, i thought they required some kind of special tool because the shape of the head on the rivits.

 

Just use a smaller bit and drill on the head of the rivet and just slowly use a bigger bit until it cuts the head off. Leaves holes maybe the size of a pencil or smaller.

 

has ane one came up wiht a good way to cover them up or at least make them not look like licends plate holes?

 

Not in Alberta!

 

yea there is a thread somewhere in the forum, perhaps in the "how to" section on this, its little plugs, kinda nifty idea. search it.

 

Carefull I got pulled over twice in a month when I didnt have my front plate on, gotta love CA. Just letting you know.

 

whole bumper has to come off...good luck patching those damn holes though
