Default Front number plate holder suggestions

I need a good advice on front plate holders.
My car has just spent the past 5months getting a GT2 wide bodykit installed and it now has the shape and forms and curves I wanted it to have..

I moved to Nebraska which needs a front plate.. Car has an aggressive front splitter..

Is there any front plate holder that I could use which is not going to require drilling holes in the bumper and will look decent?



Thank you

I bought this one, it seems sturdy enough, and it comes off in 2 seconds literally. What's left behind can't be seen.

I have a removable mount from Top Flight. Best one I found if I have to have one.

Thank you for the suggestion, I have seen it on few grand sport that did not mount a front splitter and looked really neat..

however I am not sure it would fit this in my front splitter brake ducts, anything else out there?

Just check your local laws. The sto and go styles are not legal here. It must be a "fixed" mount.

Another Top Flight front plate user - simple installation, secure and removable. Just unscrew two wing nuts to take the plate off. It sits squarely in the middle of the grille opening and is curved to match front fascia. If you must have a front plate, and we do in Oregon, this is the best option, imo.

Top Flight is the best. IMO

Alternative - uses existing OEM screws inside grill opening. Cantilevered without touching opening or nose if car. Billet construction. PM If interested and I'll tell you where I found it.

Does your front splitter still mount in the factory holes?

If so, i used this.

http://thedoubleaa.com/cart/index.ph...roducts_id=140

It mounts (as a spacer type) between your bumper and your front stock splitter using the existing holes. You just undo 3 screws, slide the bracket it, making it act like a spacer, then reinstall the 3 screws. It's very simple.

It's a clean look, doesn't interfere with airflow, and doesn't touch the bumper at all.

I had it for about 5 months now, with speeds exceeding 100+ and it's still solid. No sign of it starting to come loose or bending etc.

I have this one from ThedoubleAA.com

Copy and paste link below:

http://thedoubleaa.com/cart/index.ph...roducts_id=140



Mounts neatly with wings between the lower front of the car and the splitter. It's shaped to contour with the front end. Made of sturdy aluminum. Go to the web site for better pics. I love mine.
