Most people I know put it on long enough to get the ticket signed off and the remove it again.

Make sure you put some tape or something to protect the bottom of the plate from rubbing against the paint. Mine was ziptied and ended up with marks/scratches.

My buddy uses double sided tape when he parks his Supra on the street and writing off tickets. Press on and pull off voila!

Wash it, clay bar the area, follow-up with denatured alcohol and then hit it with some 3M tape!

That's how I would do it, anyway.

:P

Nope it does not touch the bumper at all it uses the hole from the bumper plug with a threaded rod. There are 3 attachment points all factory holes. Not taking anymore pictures tho sorry.

Bumping this up again.

I got another no front plate ticket as well as an inadequate exhaust ticket this morning...

I'm thinking about going with this mount:



http://ccmustangbrackets.com/product...plate-bracket/

It's $52, but the build quality looks pretty good and it doesn't require drilling. What do you guys think?

Any other options?
