Yeah but now the criminals will learn to flee in reverse! They could get a front wheel drive car and weld the steering straight, then replace the rear suspension with rear wheel steering. Might get a sore neck but better than spending the night in the pokey!The cops would fight it like they did here, saying it makes it harder to track criminals (yeah right) in reality they would lose money from all the tickets they write for no front plate.
On Center Ridge Rd in Westlake about 12 years ago. I was driving an 07 F150 and some jack wad backed into me in a parking lot and broke off the front plate bracket two days after I bought it, so I just drove it for over a year before I got caught.Where were you stopped?

Wow, $150 and dropping the bumper for a product AM shows as a 30 minute install. That and they had to drill into your bumper anyway. If you're happy I'm happy, but the Sto & Sho or Craig's brackets would have been cheaper with no drilling. To each his own.I found this bracket in the American Muscle catalogue . $50, and local dealer charge me $150 to install- they dropped the front bumper. Had I used my head I would have had them switch the single note horn for a dual horn when the bumper was down,, but I was dumb. Fro the James Bond crowd, they sell any electric bracket that can disappear with the flick of the switch.
They didn't drill the bumper; they fastened it from underneath. There's a flat pan of some sort, and they installed it with bolts/nuts so it won't slip. Had I known that there was nothing on the inside of the tray I would have done it myself. Live and learn. But again, it never touches the bumper.Wow, $150 and dropping the bumper for a product AM shows as a 30 minute install. That and they had to drill into your bumper anyway.

You might want to double check that installation. There is no need to remove the bumper.They didn't drill the bumper; they fastened it from underneath.

From what I've seen, most installations of this kind of plate-hider are off to the side. I know the receiver part of my centrally-installed Sto 'n' Sho took a near-fatal beating from a single thoughtless driveway exit. Was in the Critical Care unit for an hour of restorative work. I'll be interested in how yours fares, as I have one like yours in the Gray Car Project queue.They didn't drill the bumper; they fastened it from underneath.

You might be right; I think they dropped whatever that "pan" is, bolted in the bracket, and re-installed it. Either that or they just took my $ and gave me a BS story. But mine was the first one they had seen, and they were pretty specific re what they saw underneath. Again, had I known what was behind the "pan " which evidently was nothing, I would have done it myself.You might want to double check that installation. There is no need to remove the bumper.
And that is all that counts!I just watched the video and you'e right; I got the feeling they had never seen one before because the body man made a copy of the as from the catalogue.Whatever; I'm satisfied, and it comes in handy especially when washing.
