Corpserodeo666 Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 I just need ideas of how to mount my front plate so it don't look like shit and so it dosen't screw up my bumper too much. I mean the cops love me around here every week they find something "illegal" on my car. I just need something basic and something that looks good. Post picks if you guys have any. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyc_2006_SS Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 That sucks. I don't think anything would look good (thats my taste) but there are a couple of members here who have front plates. Maybe they can give you some ideas. Good luck.

kaotik1 Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 I have been thinking about this alot as of late. One idea was the powered drop tag(cost $250) with my drop I am way to low for it now, and would drag the plate on the ground. The other thing I have been thinking about is getting the front bumper treated with a bit of custom, and just above the air duct grafting in a pocket to hold the plate.

KJT13 Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 i just got the factory front plate bracket on mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnblwzd Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Why not just use the factory bracket? Sucks to drill 4 holes, but at least it's painted and has the correct contour for the front bumper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1 Fast SS Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 I did mine with velcro. Went to Lowes and bought some industral strength, and mounted it. It holds like glue! That way you can take it off when you want to. I've went through some heavy duty car washes, and it never moved. Just put the velcro on the four areas where you would srcew it in. Just make sure the velcro is the heavy duty stuff. Works great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bambino Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Just get an electric flip down plate (if your not too low) i've got a 3-4 drop and have no dragging issues. I did wire in a switch for going in and out of parking lots, just have to remember to use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS Silv Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 I would just use the factory plate holder. It doesn't look that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He mounted this to the lower air dam which is a few inches from the street (which we don't have, so you'll have to mount to to a bracket of some sort), and it seems to have passified the local PDs so far.

04CHASE Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 unfortunatly my truck already had it on when i bought it, you could try making a mount on a valence grill , that might look ok, i put a black silverado ss frame on mine to make it look a little better but its still ugle, i know id get oulled over if i didnt have it though.
