I put my plate on ....



Well on the bracket itself. However it slides around in the trunk on a daily basis. No front plate going on this beauty!

no front plate here either, have it tucked between my seat and the center console in case I get pulled over and will throw it up on the dashboard.

works good to. it's also kinda cool to hit a button and the plate slides under the front bumper. car is ugly with a front plate though.:( wish texas would do away with the 2 plate law. got the hide away plate since it's my daily driver and i work nights so i did not want the harassement of getting pulled over.

That hide-a-way plate is a sweet idea. I hate that TX demands 2 plates. I'm originally from MI where ya don't need that crap. I ordered my Hide-a-way

The hide-a-plate doesn't work so well with ground effects.

Like I would put a front plate on my car regardless

Tried a mount that utilized the fascia bolts. Didn't work well.

Ended up turning the bracket upside down, used zip ties, and put anti-skuff pads for kitchen chairs onto the backside of the bracket. Doesn't rub on the paint. Has withstood 80 mph easily. Looks better to me down low than in the normal rivet on position.
