what is the best way to mount the plate so i dont have to drill holes in the bumper. i just had the holes filled in but if i have to put a plate back on im not gonna drill holes in the nose. does anyone have any pics of how its mounted.

well my T/A came with a black metal bracket that was already screwed into the bumper. if you dont want to drill into the bumper i suppose you could use some heavy duty double sided foam pads or similar. home depot usually has that kinda stuff

this is what my car looks like with the bracket:


i know you can't really see it, but you get the idea

Put it on the Airdam under the front of the car. Sorry don't have a pic. I never got pulled over for it. It is illegal though.

a few weeks ago on ebay i saw a plate that holds it under the car and very low on the front bumper. i havent seen anymmore or them. does anyone have any pics of the plate mounted on the airdamn.thats probably what ill do if i have to put the plate back on.

worst case, you could fabricate something to hang it from...tie the ends to something under the hood..thpough I think the holes would look better then that.

gotta love living here in michigan....seems pointless to have two plates.... it just takes away from the appearance to anycar besides like a fullsise truck..

my dad's fabbing a piece for my GTA (maybe tomorrow - we'll see). It mounts to 2 of the bottom bolts on the front bumper.

If I can get it made, I'll see how much it would cost to build a couple of them. I'll keep you posted nolan.

throw it in the passengerside of the windshield or take some bunji cords and strap it to the passenger side sun visor and flip down the sun visor so its visable.

yep thats what i do put it in the pass window and when they pull u over just tell them u r searching for the bracket to hold it on the front but cant seem to find it at the scrap yard and u r gunna go to the dealer to see if they can get one for u. i get pulled over all the time for it and say the same thing over and over.lol
i will not put the plat on the front of my car it just kills the look.

yeah I have seen that as well on ebay, I also saw it somewhere else on a 89 TTA, but I can't remember where I saw it

It somehow mounts under the car, and lets the plate sit real low in front of the bumper. Some guy fabs them up and sells them for like $20 on ebay. Well worth it if you are in a 2-plate law state and you don't want to damage your bumber.

yeah it kills how the car would look. it really looks some much better without the stupid from plate. Ny sucks all crappy laws, 2 plates on a car , no side tint of any type is legal, nys regents.

3.1EyeCandy thanks i would like to see what it looks like .

nolanr0413

with plate

patrickm00

i would just make something that looks like an L shape that would bolt to the two center bolts under the bumper, and hold the plate in the center about the level of the GFX, not as high as in those pictures. you should be able to make this by carefully bending and cutting some aluminum stock from home depot or lowe's for about $15-25.

They have them at truck stops already. Mounts to the underside of the bumper and hinges if the plate hits anything. See 'em on semi's all the time.

CO has that law but i just disobey it, havent gotten pulled over in the over 2 years i havent had a front plate (atleast not for that ), they were gonna eliminate the law here because it costs the dmv craploads of money each year and they realized that even states without front plates are just as likely to recover stolen vehicles as ones with front plates (some states without the law even have better vehicle recovery numbers), its a stupid law, thus i disobey it
