Removing the Front License Plate Bracket

Just yank it off. It is held to the bumper by four barbed plastic tabs and there is no way to remove it and make it re-usable. The "replacement "bread loaf" piece is installed by pushing the tabs through the slots in the bumper. I believe you have to buy both sides just to get the left one and they're not interchangeable either. Too bad dealers in single plate states order trucks with the (front) license plate holder just to give them another place to display their dealer advertising.

^ yep. It's just a $20 fix it ticket in Cal. I have never received a ticket yet for not having one. This is counting all 20 years of driving. I take my chances instead of having some god awful plate ruining the look of my vehicles. I've received other tickets ( speeding, illegal stop, etc.), but even then they didn't go around the vehicle to ring me up for everything.
