This is only a temporary mounting until I can find or someone makes a hideaway plate mount that I like. I simply looped a ty wrap thru the two existing mounting holes on the factory mount and thru the lower grille. Bringing the two ends of the ty wrap together on the plate side of the mount so the connection ends up in the screw hole of the mount. The ground effects make impossible to do anything from in behind the grille.

I installed the Swift manual mount on my Camaro. And so far it works fine. There are also other threads on the forum for other types or mounts.

Just so you guys know (and im pretty sure this is the case in most states/provences where a front plate is mandatory... could be wrong in some cases though, someone feel free to correct me)... but if you're mounting your front plate off to the side, as many of you have been doing, you might as well not mount it at all. It's just as 'illegal' as not having a plate. It has to be in the center, front most part of the vehicle.

Info: Calif. Vehicle code 5201. License plates shall at all times be securely fastened to the vehicle for which they are issued so as to prevent the plates from swinging, shall be mounted in a position so as to be clearly visible, and shall be maintained in a condition so as to be clearly legible. The rear license plate shall be mounted not less than 12 inches nor more than 60 inches from the ground, and the front license plate shall be mounted not more than 60 inches from the ground. No reference as to minimum height or where, center or side.
Auto or manual holders from under spoiler look to be around 9 inches to bottom of plate. Mounting in loxer grill is at 12 inches, stock postion seems to be around 16. |

Removing front licence bracket
My dealer admitted they shouldn't have installed the bracket and told me they'd take care of it. Either by giving me a special chrome vanity SS plate or send it to the body shop.
The car will be a garage kept Sunday driver only and I have some concerns about the repair not matching or lasting. Has anyone else ran into this? |

Thanks for checking in MD. I bought the show and go bracket and like where you installed it. It looks like it doesn't hang down any further than the lowest part of the front panel. Have you had any problems scraping on the ground? |
