Front plate bracket?

zigzagg321 · 11-22-2007, 04:49 PM

yes I searched...I found the entire 2 threads associated with this issue...they didn't lead anywhere solid, and some time has passed since they have been looked at. Now that I moved back to Ohio, I have to have a front plate...I will not have holes in my front bumper cover. I might just make one...but has anyone seen one for 99-04 cars? Google was a bust.

i dont think there is a way around it man.

PColav6 · 11-25-2007, 09:24 AM

Someone on this board made their own I think...

zigzagg321 · 11-25-2007, 10:09 AM

There is a way around it...I'd just have to make one. Not that hard...but I wanted to just buy one so I could have it ASAP. maybe the guy on here who made one will chime in...but i think home depot will be my friend on this one.

Zip ties.

SxyXc · 11-25-2007, 09:14 PM

here try something like this... it should work... but i'm not 100% sure

ohh just thought of something else. have the front piece where you can take it off. so make two little spots for screw, and bend the bottom pice up just enough to have room for the screws. that way it will be able to go on and off. take off the front peice. unscrew the screws and slide the back piece off the back of the bumper....

i can redraw my idea it it will help

im not sure if i'd trust the double sided tape.

you could probably get some aluminum brackets, and run them through the bottom spoiler opening and find something to attach them with, but that way they will be out of sight.

good luck!

I used the double sided tape and it has been holding since 03.
The pressure washer wont even shake it loose.

glad to hear that! I tried moving it after I stuck it on and I couldn't, so it's definitely on there.

friend was gunna get a ticket for no front plate yesterday... so cop says if you can put it on right here you won't get a ticket. Buddy walks to the trunk, grabs the plate and puts it on the front where the officer hadn't noticed the 4 slips of velcro on the bumper. Tossed the plate at the bumper and we're off. Cop was irritated that it was velcro'd but let him off without a ticket.

I considered Velcro.

Steeda97 · 12-02-2007, 06:17 PM

And when you finally want to take off the plate, isn't the tape gunna be a b-tch to get off?
