It is true that it sits low, but I've never scraped mine on a PP car with 16000 miles. The plate can be removed and reinstalled in seconds. It does not require holes in the bumper cover either. It's securely mounted with screws, not 3m tape. Hoping I'm not jinxing myself.”īC says he has had good luck with the Sto-N-Sho. After 5yrs I see no damage to the dash (I switch sides with it each year) and the 2x I've had "conversations" with The Law they didn't mention it. I tuck it in about 1/2-3/4" and I THINK I put a small bend in the plate to make it fit better. I wrapped the lower part of the plate with painters tape.
Finally, I got the plate mounted permanently at the dealer.”Ī Shelby GT350 driver says, “I put mine in the lower windshield slipped between the dash and window. A week after that, I got a "fix-it" ticket from the CHP.
$69 out of the window! Then when I removed the assembly, I drove without the front plate. They told me that they would not give refunds because the assembly was used.
The receiver holes on the bracket will be distorted and stop you to removing the plate. Any driveway or parking bumper will bend and damage the plate. When it is installed correctly, it is the lowest point on your car. “I do not recommend the Sto N Show plate bracket. Speed, from California, says he is unhappy with the Sto N Sho license plate holder. I think it is the simplest & best solution out there.” Small metal plate attaches to the bottom side of bumper cover in front of lower grill using some really strong 3M tape. “I've got the Craig's Custom Bracket on my car (year-round DD in Wisconsin / 400 mi/wk). I might have to do it as a temp.”ĭoug, from Wisconsin, has found a solution that works well for him. “Thought about it but then it blocks view and it also wears out the dash over time with the vibrations. “Do you want to risk just tucking it in your front window? Probably NOT legal, but it's what I do.”Ĭhris says he would like a more permanent solution. So how do you protect your pristine 2017 Ford Mustang and meet your legal requirements at the same time? Mud, from Connecticut, is reluctant to mount it at all. Owners are concerned that some plate holders will damage the bumper Can anyone suggest an option for me at all?” I hear about Sto and Show ones online and looked at them but they do not look secure and there are reports of them coming off and destroying bumpers at highway speeds. Being there is no tow hook I need to find another option as it is mandatory for me to have a front plate. There are no holes and front plate bracket and I plan to keep it this way.
Once you have the frame located where you want it, apply masking tape around the magnets on the backside of the grille as shown in the second photo.Chris is reaching out to members of a popular Mustang forum with a question that I see often, “So I just bought my Mustang on Saturday. As you move the frame, the magnets on the backside of the grille should move around as well. Measure/eyeball the frame, moving it to where you want the final location. You should be able to pick up the grille and frame as one piece. This will "attach" the frame to the grille. Place magnets on the back side of the grille matching each magnet with the ones on the frame. Now, turn the frame up side down and place the grille on top of it, aligning them close to where you want the frame to sit.
I also put a towel down on the table so I didn't scratch the grille while I'm working on it. I put a strip of masking tape on the back of the license plate frame so that once it is "attached" to the grille, I can move it around without scratching the grille. If your car has a steel bumper, you can probably skip to step 8 since you won't need magnets on the bumper. Once the epoxy on the license plate frame has set, we're ready to start on the grille.
