Just wanted everyone's opinion on the value of an Evo X with holes on the bumper from the license plate mount. When I bought my Evo, I told the dealer not to mount the front plate. So my bumper has no holes at the moment. However, I feel that I should mount the front plate to avoid any tickets (my insurance incurs a surcharge with a no front plate ticket). Would a potential buyer avoid an Evo with holes on the bumper or would ask for a lower price? I'm looking to sell the car in a few months. Thanks!

 

Selling only in a few months.
I say go without holes. I've seen a mounting option out there that used the front tow hook location. But, seriously for just a few months, just be cop-cautious and risk it.

 

I really don't like to deal with police so installed it.

 

You could have just zip tied the plate to the front bumper right above the intercooler, now your resale value went to ****.

 

i agree, me and my boys do this all the time without problem from the police. NYC here too

 

This is similar to what I did. I got a generic mount and used extra long zip ties to attach it to the front bumper. Attached the plate to the mount. I am so glad the dealer gave me the mount and left it for me to do .
