Front plate option

suzook · 02-07-2016, 04:06 PM

So I know we all hate mounting a front plate, but here in NY, its mandatory, and you WILL get pulled over for not having one. Here's what I did. I skipped the plate mount, and directly bolted plate with a nice frame. All in all, not too bad

Picture?

Nice, did you mount it to the black plastic strip? Have to drill?

Yes, drilled through black strip. 2 holes where plate holes are. For me its not worth getting pulled over. It is what it is. I think this looks better than the stock mount.

I agree. The stock mount looks like a buck tooth.

Oh no!!!!!
Why not go the Sto N' Go route????? Uses factory bolts.

Honestly? That looks like $hit. Sure, no holes. But it doesn't matter to me. It's my dd and will have a plate mounted permanently.

I didn't order a front mounting Plate. I wasn't paying for it

Can u get a pic from directly in front? I'm gonna do the same thing when my plates come in. Looks good.

With the limited options, the OP's solution isn't bad

Looks better than the OEM option at least. So far I like the sho and go option the best. Waiting to see what JacFab comes up with. I know they're working on a bent frame style, and it sounds like it's going to have a quick release like the sho and go.

In the wind that looks like it could deflect back and rub on the bumper. I'm here in IL also and I will not run a front plate. I have not had one on my 5th Gen either. Never been stopped.

Honestly? You have a new car with holes drilled in it. To each their own
