Front license plate - Stillen or Show and Go?

FromG2Z · 03-15-2011, 08:30 AM

I've seen oil temps around 210-220 on cool days too, city driving, of course average temps are around 180-190.... I would think that's normal and well within operating range.

Also, how secure do you think it is? the plates arent very light for two tiny screws.

Sorry it took so long to post this... I totally forgot about it. Here is the pic I promised. Notice that I am NOT using the bracket, and am only using two #6 screws directly into the black textured portion of the bumper. When the plate is off, the holes are not visible unless way up close. I also plan to cover it up with the similar diameter electrical tape

Thank you for the pics! I was looking at this last night wondering if I could just screw it directly into the plastic. I still don't think I'm willing to put any holes even in the plastic piece, but I'm glad to see it's an option.

Thanks for the Pics, it looks nice and clean! I actually ordered the stillen plate to other day, but I wont know how i like it until i actually see it on my car. If its not for me, then i will go your route for sure!

Yeah I had the Stillen plate on my G35C before the Z... it was "okay"... nothing special, if anything it was way over priced.

Also, for the Z, I don't like how it's offset. To me, it looks kindda ricey, but that's just me. If you try it and like it, great. The route I went is simple and clean and the wholes are not visible if I decide to go plateless
