WKD FIRE gets a front plate - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Look what my wife bought...

I think I saw WKD FIRE flinch, and scoot backwards.

I told her when she bought the holder I would put it on. It goes on Friday. At least it is one of the good plate holders, and it will not touch the body. I have been looking at this one since it was produced.

Yeah, the lower grill. I have seen it on CamaroPetes car when he first got his. It looks good.

As a word of advice, I would epoxy the nuts on the back of the plates, it makes the install SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much easier. Otherwise you will be fishing them out of the lower front cover. Also I placed mine on a 4X4 and hit it with a rubber hammer to bend it to the shape of the front of the bumper cover, It actually looks pretty good.

Looks like a good one, I am very happy with the one I have.

motor1 · 07-15-2010, 07:46 PM

One other thing, I drilled an additional centerline hole in mine and also turned it upside down to get it in the exact location I wanted...

volboy23 · 07-15-2010, 08:14 PM

Looks good. Let's see some pics when you get it on tomorrow.

edog · 07-16-2010, 12:30 PM

Ok, it looks good, and it is centered. I have always liked this bracket, and I am glad it is this one we put on. It still needs some "BLING", so I will get the matching LP frame like I have on the back. It will match the chromed out bowties.

Here are the pics. Any thoughts?

edog · 07-16-2010, 12:34 PM

Oh, when you take the plate off the engine, make sure you clean underneath. It is nasty and alot of dirt. Mine is polished at this point! LOL

Haha-me too.

Where did this bracket come from? Pricing?

Blackhawk6 · 07-16-2010, 02:17 PM

Hey Ernie, did those alignment marks in the driveway help you out.

By the way looks great...

Here is the info from a thread I posted last summer. It is $100. A bit steep, but it includes shipping, and it is really well built. No flexing and very light weight.

I will be putting a plate bracket on it to finish the look like I have on the rear. I think it looks unfinished the way it is now. Afterwards, it will be nice!
