I have a Stillen bracket but took it off and have it sitting right behind the passenger seat. have a good excuse lined up - actually worked once already. Told the officer I just had my bumper fixed after being hit and just about ready to install it back.

Required in TX, so I have the show-n-go plate just in case

You get manual ones or electric/remote ones

Amazon.com: show and go license plate

Just wear a bra!
Works for me.

Boost. are the motors water proof and have decent power rating? Contemplated on that thing but not totally convinced. Could use some credible recommendations.

As mentioned, it is required in Texas. I don't like giving cops any reason to pull me over, so I installed it without the bracket. I just screwed the frame and plate directly into the black plastic piece, and I love that it doesn't project out in front of the car from the side view

I can't seem to find a side view photo, but here's a close up from the front of what I did.

I did just like you JAR. I never had one on the car when I was in Texas but they wouldn't pass my car for safety here in Hawaii without a front plate. I tried to zip tie onto the grill but they said it had to be "mounted." I wasn't about to argue with the tech so his jaw dropped when I asked for a drill and 2 screws. Went straight into the plastic piece as you did there and said "give me my f*ckin stickers." Signed off and I was on my way.

you can still see something hanging under the car when you take a pict with that show-n-go, no?

i just use the factory plate bracket. i cover the plate black when i take picts as the plate is not very pretty with its ugly colors.

Another reason not to use the factory bracket

kenchan · 05-03-2013, 10:23 AM

but the factory bracket is nice. it's real abs plastic, not some faux abs.

Living all my life in two plate NY my eye is used to seeing a front plate. I would go for a more discrete braket and use a plate cover but I would not want to deal with the time, worry or pay and get the plate. I guess my plate does make the car look like the tongue is sticking out.

( Click to show/hide ) I sure find it humorous when people black out their license plates in photos. I just don't see the point when tons of people see my license plate on a daily basis. I always wonder if those people cover up their plates whenever they park their cars m4a1mustang likes this. __________________ 2011 370Z 6MT Sport Gun Metallic \| ARC \| CJM \| Ecutek \| FI \| Fujimura \| R2C \| SPL \| Stillen \| TWM \| Z1 \| ZSpeed \| Last edited by JARblue; 05-03-2013 at 03:42 PM.
