Shevyman, I would love to see pics and videos of it once you get it installed. If it all comes together as I hope, I will order one!!!

Thanks!!!

I agree. I wrote to several sites carrying these plate holders but I too want to see it installed and working on a Camaro. Not some unit built for some other car that really doesn't look good on our cars.

Here's an OK looking V6 front plate bracket I found on eBay. I'd like to see more pictures of it. Has anyone put this one on or got a better looking one?

woah, that's got to be a 75% markup. I could build that myself.

I have a $55 "corvette" hidden liscense plate holder on my cobalt. It is shown while driving but at a show or the track I can put it away under the bumper. It works good but you def need some kind of rubber backing so the paint doesn't get scratched. I had to drill to small holes that aren't seen under the bumper.

Did it attach to your 2010 smoothly cause it said it was for an 02. Any pics would be awesome

How do you get the front plate bracket off if dealer installed it?

If he riveted it on you have to drill out the rivets, then you will find holes in your fascia. If he used double sided tape you can carefully pull it off and have no holes in your fascia. Good luck, here's hoping for double sided tape.

WhyMe · 12-20-2009, 12:50 PM

Thanks. Unfortunately it was rivets. I knew I would have to drll them out and started with the smallest bit possible but... The holes they drilled are 1/8". Thon with HTP Auto Works is here installing the VentureShiled film so we will just go over the holes and I'll get some white interior trim caps and use them to fiil them in. Won't be to noticeable except to us car people that see every flaw. Thom has some SRT caps in the holes in the front of his Grand Cherokee SRT* so some of Camaro plug would be unique.

Here is mine. It worked out perfect and was very easy to install. The hardest part was finding the ground.

i have the same thing, just the manual version (sorry don't need a motor to hide my plate) and i love it!! comes with 2 rubberized pads for the back of the plate holder to it will not mess up the paint
