So here is some ordering information. Feel free to contact Doug at ******@sympatico.ca. The bracket once complete will sell for $100.00 CAD shipping included (approx $15) or approximately $92.12 USD (based on today's exchange rate).

The Dealer where I bought my car did not put it on. They actually said to me, do you really want to put a front plate on? I said not really. So they said no problem. Hopefully won't have any trouble.

That would be great. Let me know. I am looking for any good option to help me stay holes free.

The problem with the motorized one is that the front facia is slightly curved and not flat on the bottom. I live near Swift Motorsports so I am going to stop by and talk to the guys to see if they can mount it without it being to obtrusive.

Please let us know....Possibly they can shim it to flatten it out?

Lots of space under there.

I have my trunk monkey for just such an occasion

when a cop pulls me over for no plate

Spoke to guys who run the shop. They said they are anxious to install one on a Camaro and video tape it to put it on their site. I told them of my concern with regards to the curvature of the front facia and how the front comes to a point. The had a manual one for display so we went out to place it on the car to see where it would sit and how it would be oriented. They came to the conclusion, and I agree with them, that putting the plate on the center (at the point) just made it look ugly. Sort of a big buck tooth. They thought putting it off to the side would be better. It does look better. Sorry I didn't take any pictures while we were doing the fit-up. The other concern of the curvature of the facia is valid. Unfortunately I don't think you can shim it enough. I am going back with a camera to take some pictures to help me decide.

OUR72GTO · 06-04-2009, 09:51 PM

I agree.....put it off to the passenger side. There is a factory fastener there so only one more hole required that no one will ever see.
