I was told to drill holes in my car and make it work.

That's something like a $120 dollar ticket (at least around 2004 it was), though usually they won't ticket you unless you were asking for it. I used to have a Toyota Supra that came with no front plate/holder, and I didn't worry about it 'til an unhappy officer wrote me up for everything little thing he could find one day.
