Another Alternative Minimalist Front License Plate Mount

doink · 06-28-2013, 08:42 AM

So, one of my friends just got a ticket for no front license plate yesterday and told me about it today. Since I just my 370z 2013, I haven't installed the front plate yet because I wanna look at some options but haven't got around to it until now.

I just happen to come across this website from another BMW forum after I broaden my search. I was actually looking up "using double sided tape for license plate holders" but a few had damage paint and lost of plate after a heavy rain or carwash. Couple of happy bmw owners when I did the search. Not much options for 370z. There is the Stillen but I don't like that its not centered.

No Hole License Plate Bracket

Skene design license plate mount

It consist of 2 brackets that they mount under the bumper and not on the front face of the bumper. That way, if you decide to remove it later, the holes will not be visible. This seems to be a very viable option and very customizable. What you guys think?

It looks like they incorrectly listed the 2013 as a 350z. So I need to email them to make sure.

Let us know - I'm looking for a solution as well. This could work.

Yeah, getting something centered yet not destructive is on my wishlist as well. I still just go without a plate, but I have a tow hook mount and spare plate with me just in case.

I'd rather get the ticket every couple of years than block the intercooler and radiator. These things run hot enough elready.

Well I just ordered the extra short version. Will post pics once received and installed. Even if the mounts are removed in the future, you have to go on your knees to look for the hidden holes.

Well, if you don't mind it being off-center, I just installed my moweraxel front license plate holder. Screws into the tow hook. I actually like it off-center and it doesn't completely block your air flow.

Sorry for the late update. Been kinda lazy on working on the bracket. I received the extra short bracket and thought it was just too short. I emailed them and they send out the short bracket with return package. Pretty good service. Ill try to show both before mailing back the extra short bracket.
