For you guys that have a 2011 Harley F150, or the new Lariat Limited. How are you attaching the front plate. The dealer wanted to drill two holes in the front bumper and just screw it on there,I said are you crazy.

 

what state are you in?

i know in texas you don't have to mount your license plate on the front, but you do have to have it in the car and theirs some more stipulations, i don't know what they are though.

you can always zip tie it or something onto the lower grille

 

I just don't like front plates so that's what I did.

This is one thing that I've looked at for the future; it may work for you:
Flip out plate kit

Food for thought anyway

 

It is a ticket if it is not on in Ontario Canada. That is why I can't believe Ford did not give the Dealer some options. They cannot seriously expect me to drill two holes in the front bumper with no plate holder,and screw the plate on.

 

why not build one? easiest way i can think of is use an old license plate put behind your lower grill, get some spacers the length of the depth of the lower grill. (can get at hardware store) mount front licence plate to front, put bolts in. no drilling and easily removable.

 

It come standar on F150 in BC, Manitoba, N-B, Ontario and Saskatchewan.


Something is wrong with your dealer.



Edit:

Must be purchased in Ottawa. Can you see if there is a plastic plate on there? or does the licence screw directly to the lower Grille.Thanks.

 

Take off that plate and you'll see that the dealer just put four screws straight into the lower grill, just like they did on my Harley. And I don't even need a front plate where I live. I plan on buying a new lower grill insert because of this.

 

make the dealer do it! They messed up the grille for no reason!

 

The picture is from internet. I didn't take it.


But on Ford.ca it does say that in come standar. I guess i'll have to take a ride to Ottawa and search for Harley and Limited and snap a picture

 

The plate in the above picture is something that comes from Walmart.As stated, the dealer mounted it there himself.All that comes with the vehicle are two mounting screws.

 

I have 2010 HD. I insisted on using electrical ties to attach the plate and frame to the front bumper insert. You should have seen the service manager and his minions standing in front of my truck last year. Four of them wanted to drill into the tiny dimples that are on the bumper insert. Well that wasn’t going to happen. After a year the plate/frame are still holding up well with the ties.

 

Sorry bro but this is false, Texas Traffic code on license plates:

It should come with a plate mount they all do here at the dealers near me so I just think they are being too lazy to get the right part...
