Default Installed my Shown-N-Go....

Since it's Texas need a front plate so put on the Show-N-Go. It actually makes me feel a little like James Bond....ha!

I had one of those on my 02 SS.

I used to get "no front plate" tickets all the time since I refused to drill holes in the front bumper.

I forgot to put it up once and got pulled over for not having a front plate... Realized I was being stopped and the plate wasn't up, and then put the plate up while the cop was walking up to my car.

It didn't work out as planned. I still got a ticket but confused the hell out of him. He gave me a ticket for not having it in the right spot or something like that. lol

No front plate on any Corvettes of mine since 1983. The only time it became an issue was when I was asked to leave a state park once because of it.

Keep it greased or the cable will break.

Denver requires a front plate as well but I have never ran one. I get ticketed when parking on a meter downtown but never in a pay lot, go figure. I've never been pulled over for it though (knock on wood ).
The show-n-go is a pretty cool idea. Thanks for posting the video.

You don't have to drill ANY holes in the bumper to mount a plate by the way.
