Title: Bright Ideas For Mounting Front Plate..
Post by: kirin on November 21, 2005, 11:26:37 AM

Hey guys,
No other section that really seems fit for this. I'm trying to figure out a way to mount my front plate. RIght now I got it zapped strapped on behind the Empi bar but you can't see it. Any ideas? I don't want to have to drill through any chrome at all.. I don't want to get nailed by the fuzz to. Suggestions welcome.

i have been pulled over, looked at, and stopped beside cops and never had a problem with it. 3 years and still going strong with just the rear plate...live a little!

Get a \"collectors\" plate after you move to Washington state, then you only have 1 plate to worry about.

Here's some pics of the front plate bracket I made.
Its 1/8\"x3/4\" stainless flat bar and some stainless \"t\"bolt clamps. The clamps are welded to the flat bar frame.
Canadian Tire or Home Depot would have the flat bar and Lordco or Acklands for the clamp. I think they were 3-1/2\" clamps.
As long as you dont crank down on the clamp there is no damage to your bumper and no holes.

How about I just drill right through the windshield that should work to.
I'm probably just going to join the no plate legion and risk it. I have a clean driving record, I have a clean car and shouldn't get hassled to bad. I hope
