Had it out on the expressway numerous times.....not a problem.

Looks good on Vette--does this fold under/clearance issues?

I think the OP has the best looking permanent mount.

Why not just zip tie it, that is what I am gonna do when my temp runs out in three weeks

Looks good i think i don't want to drill holes either but i almost like it higher on the bumper then it does not take away from the v shaped front end as much cause you can bend the plate to go with the curves.

Add a few more pics when you get time love to see some other angles front/straight down close up side

If it ever stops f'n snowing here I will. I got 12 inches on Friday, 10 inches today, more tomorrow, more Saturday, and more next Tuesday. It's been snowing ever since I got it. I'm pissed. Spring can't come quick enough.

There are better options.

What are these better options? I have seen none that are worthy of the price. Op has the best I've seen so far. Way cheaper too.

I'm happy with the bracket I purchased from Phastek. For my needs, it is the perfect option. Everyone's taste is a little different. Do what you feel is right for you and your budget.

Going to take my chances and keep the front plate in the glove box. Illinois police have better things to do than pull me over for no front plate. Nock wood fingers crossed.

I was hoping for something from ZL1 Addon that would use the tow hook adapter. I plan on getting that front fascia so the one from Phastek wont work for me. I don't want to keep pushing it here in NY lol

jdante420 · 06-12-2016, 02:41 PM

That looks a lot better than the stock bracket. What kind of bolts did you use?

Blue's SS · 06-13-2016, 01:49 PM

Definitely Sho N Go for me. No way I'm drilling holes in my front bumper. I'll leave it off, if I get pulled over, "Oops, sorry officer, I forgot to put it back on." Go put it back on, go down the road a few miles, take it back off. Having said that I've only ever been pulled over for no front plate twice in 18 years here.
