Sweet, thanks for the info.

I'm sorry the only reason a cop pulls you over for this is because they're being a dick or having a terrible day. That being said they need to do away with the front plate laws in every state.

The guy who makes these is going to come check out my 2014 to take some measurements. From what I have seen I think this looks the best for my plan of not having a plate on.... And only putting on to fix the fix it ticket.

+1 on that. just don't get it. if its on a decent bracket, then It looks fine to me. if anything, I think the ghetto hanging from zip ties is the worst thing you can do to the front end.

State troopers and LaGrange.
My only issues ever.

I've been using 5 inch toggle bolts. Better than off center anyway.
I told the sales manager that ordered my car I wouldn't accept delivery if they drilled holes. He told me a funny story about needing to run back to his prep guy after he saw it in his notes.

Same thing here . I told them when I ordered it - no bracket . They do not install them at my dealer until delivery and the customer wanted it.

texas is a fix it ticket, if you take a pic with the front and rear plates on they will dismiss the ticked iv had 3 of em, not worth it to ruin the front fascia to me.
