Licesne plate bracket install.

[a94cobra]

I just got my bracket from SonicBlur installed. I didn't know how I would like the kit, but it works good.

Only thing I didn't like was, it touches the underside of the front air dam and will eventually rub the paint there. So I put me some rubber on it so it wouldn't rub so bad. Something I think he should add to the kit. I realize the rubbing won't be seen, but I didn't want to trade drilling holes for rubbing the paint underneath.

Just a FYI, for anyone doing this install.

Any pics? I told the dealership not to f-up my bumper by drilling holes, but I know my wife is going to get a ticket. :bash:

Pics.

This one I added some rubber to protect the bottom of the bumper from rubbing.

I still think putting it infront of the HE is the best option, but that looks ok too... Atleast you don't have the holes with plugs like me.

I purchased a front plate bracket similar to that, but purchased it from Hermann. http://www.hbh.org/ It fits perfectly, doesn't rub, and it's black in color. I had my plate in front of the heat exchanger, which is a no no. :nono: Want as MUCH air as possible for cooling.

Didn't know Herman sold one. Got a pic of his?

I designed my own metal bracket (Based somewhat SonicBlur's Design) that fits much tighter and holds the factory plastic plate bracket almost right against the bumper so you can barely tell that it isn't really mounted to the bumper. I've got some foam strips behind it to keep it from rubbing as well.

I call it the Stealth Plate Bracket. Here are some pics.

I didn't check to see if I could use my factory piece with Sonic's design.

Mine is removable... do a search from July of 2002

Hey Vintage,

I was looking to make something similar to yours. Does yours rivet into the foam that's behind the front bumper cover ?
