3m double sided tape.

put it in the windshield on the passenger side...ive seen that before

Everyone and their mother puts it on the passenger side glass... I just dont have one at all (rebel)
3M double sided tape... how easily would that come off? I know that a descent amount of it would hold 10+ pounds, and a licence plate barely tips a scale... bye bye true blue metallic paintjob?

Come on you can do better than tape?
 
New York State requires it to be fastened with nuts and bolts. Some one on e-bay has addressed this problem with a patent pending idea in New York. You can see his work on e-bay item # 140010006233. You guys don't know of anything else? NYS does not allow you to just put it in the window because it can be stolen (yeah, not like it can't be unbolted...). and also cannot be taped, velcroued or band clamped, they are real tough and biligerent in NYS. Come on, put your collective brains together, you can figure out how to get 600 horse outa these engines, but no one has a solution for this? Who me? Well, I'm new to this Mustang thing, so I cut myself some slack, but I'm counting on you guys? thanks, Vic

cut the top off of some bolts and weld them/epoxy/crazy glue, what have you the to your license plate... then stick your license plate on with 3M
problem solved, and no cops will be the wiser, also, less expesive than some 40 dollar bracket, that looks like the bolts would hit your front bumper anyway, If they dont they still would when the car moves/vibrates and ruin your front bumper anyhow.

I see people with the new vett'e have a better setup on line called an altenate plate holder, it mounts to the lower part of the" mouth" or lower opening of the front scoop? kind of stradles it... I'm kinda thinking of making a red acrylic or plexiglas box like deal where the plate would be recessed about 1/4" with enough over hang to mount under the lip of the front upper mouth lip or front bumper? in clear red to match the new car too< would look like a gem? I also seen that people with Miatas? have made a plate holder that mounts in the mouth, and folds flat, when you are driving, when the wind overpowers a spring... cool, and cooling for the engine too!!! I gotta do more tinkin, see ya soon, vic:wallbash:

Another idea came to me...since you guys like to go fast, and I'm guessing you don't like to get tickets for doing so, maybe you could take a motorized big truck mirror, take the glass out replace it with ? chrome plastic ? and mount your license plate to it. Then mount it sideways under the bumper in the mouth and then hook up the wires to a switch. That way you can adjust to out of sight position when racing. So come on, if I can think of this, you guys can think of something more decorative for our new car! And no more tape ideas, that won't fly in NY state, and neither will putting it in the window. Heck, you can't even wire it to anything, it has to be bolted solid. What do you think the cops are reading while sitting in the median waiting for speeders? They're reading traffic laws, that's what really inside that playboy book they're looking at. Loopholes.... Thanks, Vic
