Custom front license plate ideas needed

[cop on my back]

My Mach 1 does not have holes drilled in the front bumper and I plan to keep it that way. I have a tow hook for track days and plan on leaving that in the bumper. That leaves me with wondering how I can make or attach a bracket for the front plate, something custom. I have the handling package with the lower lip so that makes it tight. I am still leaning towards going from underneath the splitter and make a custom bracket.

NOT looking to utilize the existing tow hook location or the show 'n go bracket available. Lets see your hear of your ideas.

I would not do anything under the splitter, we HP guys scrape all the time that would be destroyed in no time LOL

I am sure you can make some custom bracket to work from this location

Does your state offer a "fix it" option for a missing front plate stop? I would avoid a front plate if at all possible.

Sly Brackets for the win: Read this. Make sure you read the ending as I finally found the best spot to mount it.

In a province actually lol. We must have front plates here. So far I have not received a ticket, but only a matter of time unless I do something.

Sly bracket is pretty good, best I've seen so far. I am going to be doing some pre-track prep work shortly and will come up with a final decision soon.

Look at my post above, it's easily removed for track duty.

Mine has been flawless for 4 years including winters.

Sto N Show is an option but will probably scrape. There’s a Craig’s bracket out there that some folks use too. No drilling. I just don’t run a front plate, not sure if that’s an option in BC or if you get a ticket/fine.

I've run many miles and track days with this no hole option. Had the Sto N Show before but always came loose with the single scerw holding it in place.

That's what happened to my Craig's bracket, it's design is susceptible to that happening. It also has two rubber bumpers that rest against the painted bumper surface. The Sly Bracket worked so much better for me.

So I take it you had no overheating problems with the Sly bracket blocking some of the radiator? Some were concerned about that when I wrote my install thread that I mentioned above. I mounted mine as far up as I could to not block the air flow. I've had no problem in street driving at all. It can be easily removed quickly if it was a concern on track days.

This is what I just used believe it or not today. Got the fix-it ticket signed off on and now it’s back in the trunk.
