Aaahhhhh that bracket won't fit my car. The guy called me to make sure if I had the track pack or not (aka performance package) which I do and it won't fit because of the front splitter. They are still working on getting one together that will fit the track pack cars.

So if you don't have the performance package here ya go! Lol. I will keep checking back to see when the PP version is up for order. I'm glad someone called me to talk about it. Fantastic customer service.

arrested for not having a front license plate? never heard of it. It is non moving violation they can give you a ticket, but arrested..... I have been driving in NJ for 4 plus years without being pulled over for Front license plate. Been pulled over speeding and still got let go, but nothing about a front license plate. Sure they can give you a ticket, but arrested... i dont think so. Just like having tint on your car, id rather pay the 50 ticket to have my car look better anways, but this is soley my opinion, do what you think is best regarding your car. Drive around your area see if everyone has a front plate or talk to a local cop see if they enforce it.

I was taken into custody once because I was in a U-Haul trying to drive through the Brooklyn-Battery tunnel and we had three people in the front cab which had only two seats (I was sitting on top of a box between the two buckets with a carpet over it, trying to make like it was a front bench). They put me in the back of the cop car while they took every single thing out of the back of the U-Haul -- which consisted of all of the property owned by two of us who were moving out of Manhattan. It took four hours before they finally let us go with just a citation. They don't mess around with ANYTHING that could remotely be seen as possibly involving terrorism, and not having a front plate in a place where every car gets photographed and run through a computer based on its front plate would absolutely be seen as potential terrorist activity. Not to mention the fact that it would be seen as an attempt to avoid red-light tickets from corners where there are cameras and automated ticket-mailing systems based on your front plate.

Well that sucks!! They aren't that technology intensive in RVA. But point taken.

I ordered the Sto n Sho several weeks back from CJ Pony Parts and unfortunately, I received the one for the non-performance package 2015 Mustang. It's part number LPB39 and I need LPB41 since my car will have the PP. I've contacted CJ Pony Parts and they're telling me to call their customer service to set up a return of the LPB39 and delivery of the LPB41.

I'm wondering if there's much difference b/w the two? I suppose the mounting plates are different and different hole spacing for mounting. If it's just a matter of the mounting holes not lining up, but the plates are otherwise the same, I could simply drill the correct holes in the plate I have, rather than going thru the pain of returning the LPB39. Anyway, just thinking out loud here.

One of their customer service reps actually called me since the bracket is on back order to let me know that they won't ship out until Friday. So I took the opportunity to ask about the different in the non track pack vs PP brackets. He said its a difference in the spacers that come with the install kit for the PP because of how the chin splitters sits.

Ok. Good to know. Thanks.

I just emailed with Craig today. He said it's taken him a bit longer than originally projected, but he is expecting to release the bracket for the standard GT front fascia next week. I will be ordering one of these and putting it on post haste because I am running out of temporary tag time!

He also mentioned he was looking at an option that locates the plate on the lower part of the front near the air dam for those who like that. Personally, I like the plate higher and not blocking the airway into the lower grille.

I went with Craig's on my Boss, good product.

I'm gonna try the manual version of the Hide The Plate so I can use it at car shows, cruise's, or maybe around town...If I don't like it, then I'll get one of Craig's.

Anyone have 1st hand experience with the Hide The Plate?

Is there any videos for the installation? I've seen the Sto-No-Show installation is quick since its made for Mustangs(It's to damn expensive for a bracket $89) but this one is generic thats my concern.

I like the bracet! I think I'll get one for sure. However, right now I more interested in the wheels that are on the white mustang on his web page.

Does anyone have any idea what make the are. All I can make on on zoom is a first letter F on the wheel?

You can send him an email. He's been very responsive in getting back.

I heard from Craig again - he's completed his final testing to make sure his product is "Topnotch"

I'll let folks know when he's ready to accept payment. Craig has been a fantastic and innovative guy in this arena (no disrespect to other competing product vendors). I like the fact that the plate bracket will be located in the middle rather than the bottom of the front bumper area. His past products have allowed for easy removal and re-installation, and it will be the same here.

My first temporary tag expired today, and the new one for my custom plates start tomorrow, so this is quite timely for me.

Here is the link to the ordering page. Product status is "in production" and is expected to be ready by mid-December.

Hi. So what are my options for wanting to drive off the lot without them drilling the front bracket in, if i'm legally required to show a front plate, and this product won't be available until mid dec? Car arriving on a couple days.

I made another post..probably should've posted here. I'd like to put the plate on in the area between the two grilles and off center. between the horse and the headlight (closer to the headlight)
What are my options?

I purchased a temporary tag good for 30 days. I wound up ordering custom plates, so I have another temporary tag good for 30 more days.

You'll have to email Craig directly get his input on moving the mounting hardware to an offset location.
