plate mount on bumper, does it come attached from Toyota? Options

[sinner96ST]

Does anyone know if the stock 96-99 bumpers come with the license plate holder from Toyota?

We've got a front plate law here in Illinois, but the car looks extremely clean without a front plate. It's almost a shame to have to put one on, and since I've seen every other car here on the road without one, I've decided to take it off and deal with the consequence. I also removed the plate holder, and noticed that there were about 4 holes drilled in to the bumper. It doesn't come stock like this, does it?

i had the holes from the previous plate being screwed straight into the bumper but i didnt put mine on

i had it in the window for awhile but when i got stopped the cop said i had to put it on the front.

since then i got a new bumper... i specifically asked the body shop not to put any holes in it so they just handed me the plastic plate holder (still in my trunk after a year and a half)

it looks soooo much better without the plate! i loooove it!

the cops dont notice at all...its when you have it in the window that they're reminded
and if they do ever say anything i'll just tell them it was messed up in an accident and im waiting for the dmv to send me a new one...just wont tell them how long ago that was ...im a girl i get away with almost everything anyway
