No front plate ticket? No problem! Pix inside...

[2K4VENM]

Not runnin' a front plate finally caught up to me. Got pulled over and recieved a $10 fix-it-ticket. I was NOT about to drill holes in my bumper so I searched the forum and ran across Craig's Custom Mustang Brackets. $51.00 shipped. Top notch product. Very clean set-up. Very easy install. Screwed the front plate on to the bracket, latched the bracket onto the bumper and got my ticket signed off. Easy as 1 2 3! Here are some pics for other folks who find themselves in the same predicament. Enjoy!

Got my bracket just in time to get my ticket signed off:

Time to do the unthinkable:

Couple of screws a screwdriver and a couple minutes is all you need:

Screw the plate onto the bracket:

Before:

After:

I think we should all get tickets for running front plates not the other way around. :nonono:

Fits like a glove: (Rubber groumets prevent any scraping/rubbing issues)

Nice and snug: (View from up top)

Got my ticket signed off and guess what? Off came the bracket! Until next time......

Goneee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here in Vancouver I got two no front plate tickets, well one was for failure to display, a $109 fine. The other one was improper display (it was on the passenger side dash, i got reamed out from the popo as it can turn into a projectile in an accident) which was $209!!

I went to Home Depot and bought some "L" brackets and made my own bracket for like $10, sucks running a front plate though, looks GAY!

guys i was at waterfest 14 a few weekends ago and came across this company...

www.swiftmotorsports.com and check out the license plate frame that they have, it slides out and also has rubber bump stops just incase it hits the bumper.

I just went to the site and watched the video and it is even 10 bucks cheaper on special right now.

Nice fix! Just hope the same cop doesn't stop you next time!

 

[sikcobra03]

I just used double sided tape, stuck it on, went in, got the cop, had him sign off, pulled plate off and left. lol didnt even need adhesive remover to get it off.

Do they check to see if you have a prior "no front plate" infraction if you were to get stopped again?

Nice kit, though. Beats drilling the bumper even if you decide to conform to the law.

I woulda left it on there to avoid getting another ticket dude.

If it's so easy to take off then just remove it when you go to car shows or want to take pictures of your car. To me at least, it's not worth the hassle or the money to keep getting pulled over for something so stupid.

Def. a nice bracket!

This one will not work with our Cobra's...The heat exchanger is in the way..

Nice idea....It works well with other cars though.....

I got one of Craig's (TORQJNKY) brackets a few months ago. No way I was drilling the virgin front cover of a low mile 10th Anniversary.
I leave it on all the time except at shows. Definitely a quality piece.

good find, just saved that dude's contact info in case it ever happens to me

That's a pretty good idea!

I got a no front plate ticket on my Cobra once.

I used 4 Zip ties connected together and zip tied the plate to my Cobra emblem. The thing was swinging in the wind and sat crooked. The police still singed it off. I then pulled some scissors out of my pocket snapped the zip ties off before the officer had a chance to put his pen back in his pocket. He just smiled and walked away.

While purchasing the bracket was the “right” thing to do. You could have saved a little time and money by just finding the “right officer” to sign it off. (Usually the ones that are on break. Coffee shop, getting gas etc...)

Cool. I'll have to subscribe to this to have for reference. I've gotten 5 or 6 warnings this year alone. Eventually I'll get a fix-it-ticket.
