How to remove front license plate bracket

I checked this out while washing it, couldn't locate the attachment bolts. Has anyone here removed it? If its a pain in the butt, I'll leave it alone.

Pull really hard if you don't care about keeping it. It's a self latching deal ... just plastic (no bolts). Or, you can get under your vehicle and push out the two tabs with a l-o-n-g flat screw driver.

Well, maybe I'll put the plate on. Tonight a cop used the "I'll let you off for the no front plate and old address on your driver's license because I'm feeling nice." I wonder if I had that on there if he'd have let me off.

The ticket he did write me up for is gonna cost me $250 at least. I haven't bought any tickets to the policeman's ball for 2 years, I guess I was due.

Actually, what are the chances he'll catch me again? F* him. I'll yank the front plate. I don't need no radar gun target on the front of my F150 brick.

If your state requires two plates, you might want to put it back on. If your state doesn't, rip it off unless you want to put a custom plate on it.

The state requires me to pay taxes and get a permit for having a yardsale too. That don't mean I'll obey it.

I was actually hoping he'd use the no plate and a wink wink as an excuse to get me out of the big ticket.
