I just drilled the rivets out, I got three holes there now but ther not like torn out or mayjor holes, they just look like lil screw holes,

I dont really feel like filling them in, I think it looks 100times better without the front plate,

woohoo for pennsylvania...no front plate required!

front plates look terrible and they always drill them in also, so then you have hole in you bumper.

Okay, so as not to make a new post.

Colorado state law requires front plates and my Cobalt came from Georgia (apparently no front frame).

I see the three little holes for assumingly the bracket to go on. Any tips on where to go from here?

I have roughly 40 days before I need to get the plate up there.

Thanks!

wisconsin law says that if it comes from the dealership w/o one, then it isnt needed. Otherwise it is law to have one. Kinda fucked up if you ask me.

that is robbing you of at least 10whp since you are blocking the intercooler. So just add 2 stickers and you will be ok
