I've developed a legal front plate solution that gives a "floating plate" feel. The bracket I made puts the plate in line with the front bumper. I think this look is something that you either like or don't. It would probably look better if the car was lowered. If there is any interest in this please pm me and I can make you one for a price. The plate can be either mounted on the right or left side of the point on the bumper.

 

a pic would help

 

ur not a vendor, u cant make and sell stuff like that.
and u being new and not posting pics, ur not gonna have any luck

but does it look like this?

 

I posted picks not sure why they're not visible to you and kind of but not really. . .

 

link to the pics?

 

 

so its one of these
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Unive...Q5fAccessories

 

looks clean but i'm not a fan of having the plate off to one side. it looks unbalanced

 

Looks like shit, just like every other plate on the front of the car (not to put down your efforts). No plate or go home, I get pulled over at least once a month for a warning but just continue to ride it out, who cares haha.

 

lucky. they give u $35 citations. and their anal about front plates here

 

up here it's like a $135 or $150 ticket for no plate

 

thats alot up by u. we get $35 citations and then they try to nail u for more stuff that they find.

 

No its not the ebay one. I had it mounted on the nose and it looked terrible. . . this is better but I do agree no plate looks the best obviously, as far it being unbalanced it gives it more of a tuner feel I think.

 

I agree, and it's nice to have other options

 

y i love tennessee...... no front plates!!!!!!

 

same with NC

 

^^ You guys suck....$60 ticket in MD!

 

Not sure what the ticket is in Ohio. I just bought a CL-S out of PA so there's no front plate on mine and I'm currently debating what to do...

 

One perk to FL.... never had a plate on the front of my CL, even when I lived in WI.

 

Here in California, if they pull you over for no front plate, all they make you do is put the plate on and have a cop sign the ticket, showing that you now have it. And then you can just take it off again behind their back. No big deal at all. I chose to leave mine off.

 

That looks like the same mount I made, just moved to one side instead of the middle.





But this is the best:

 

Also looks like the same mount I made

 

lol it just looks like L brackets behind the plate. i dont know what so custom about it

 

does look like shit. i think the factory bracket looks 100 times better than that.

 

The factory bracket scratches the shit out of the paint.

 

The factory bracket not only scratches the bumper but it puts holes in it, and it makes it stand out to much IMO

 

Just get a flip plate, I have one and it always makez people say ooo and ahhh.

 

you dont have to pay the fine but you still have to pay the admin fee. its like 20 bucks.

 

I never had to pay that? Maybe the fee varies in each city?

 

The bracket uses the factory mounting holes in the bumper for the stock bracket so you don't have to drill into the bumper. . . try making one then get back to me on how custom it is

 

Not very. The hardest part was trying to get the angles correct. The factory bolt holes aren't flat on the bumper. They have about a 25* angle to them. So I had to bend the aluminum (I used 1/4" aluminum and it holds the entire plate, not just the two top bolts) with care - hard to do with basic hand tools and a vice. Still though, I knocked it out in an hour and that included painted it.







How does your bracket bolt to the stock bracket location? It on the passenger side, the stock holes are in the middle.

 

Damn 5 minute edit rule -

I wanted to add that I absolutely hate the front plate and Im planning on moving it to the driver side of the bumper. Also, my bracket isnt the prettiest looking, but it servers its purpose.

 

Thats wierd, my bracket wasn't screwed into the face of the bumper

Maybe certain dealers did it that way?

 

Now you have to account for two more angles when moving it to one side, good luck if you're going to try and bend a piece of metal and get it to sit right. As for MurdaZ, funny how people talk shit with nothing but bolt-ons. Like I said its something you like or don't; I had my plate mounted like yours civicdrivr and got sick of it too, it didn't line up with any lines on the car and just didn't sit right.

 

Best $50 I ever spent, I got the manual one for cheaper and it works great.

^ Pics of it mounted on the CL. Now.

 

Where did you get that for $50 the only place I found it was $138 but for 50 id buy a couple of them for next time I plane on running from the cops LOL or not at least id have the chose

 

I had the show n go plate... didnt like it at all. waste of money, its a cheap piece of hardware.

I just put mine back on the stock location

 

go ebay show n go.... he mentioned he had the manual one which was about 50 bucks.... the electric one is priced around 130 ...

 

I just brought my whip to the shop today to get my front bumper replaced. I absolutely hate the gaudy OEM front license plate mount. If my new bumper does not come with any holes for the license plate mount, I am going to buy the Altec Powered Show N Go License Plate Mount from Summit Racing [http://www.summitracing.com/parts/AP...n/?prefilter=1]. My objective is to wire the mount so that when I turn my car on the mount folds out displaying the license plate and when I turn my car off the mount folds down hiding the plate. Will I be able to wire it up like this or can you only control it with the wireless remote control?
