This is a great mod for those of us who live in areas required by law to display front license plate. I didn't want to drill those ugly wholes unto my beautiful bumper and stick butterfly screws in there. Stock plate bracket even sticks out an inch on both sides of plate and looks ugly. I bought this Stillen bracket from G35 Driver on here to avoid drilling holes, and I love it (sorry about the dirty bumper). Don't have a show car, but I love the fact that I can screw it off and put cover back on whenever I want. PM G35 Driver if you want it
PAINTED TO MATCH MY IP SEDAN!!!
Different prices for different sets, PM G35Driver (Donnie) for your specific setup.

I've got one too, but ordered through Stillen directly.
Kinda pricey for what it is material wise, but worth it by not drilling holes in your bumper.

Pardon the stupid question. Trying to figure out why you would paint the mtg. bracket and leave it attached to the bumper.
I leave everything totally assembled in the trunk so all I do is pop out the hole cover in the bumper, and screw the whole thing in, if I need to show my front plate.
Much easier than diddling with 4 screws to attach the license plate each time.
I pre-aligned the lic. plate on the bracket before tightening the center screw real tight. That way when I screw the whole assembly in the bumper, the license is always aligned straight. At least I thought that's how it was intended to be used.

Right with first thing you said, I attached it to the bumper just to take pictures buddy. The whole thing is sitting under my passenger seat and my cover is on. I got questioned once already and told officer that I just got the bracket but missing a screw to put it on. I'll just blame the dealer everytime I get stopped for not drilling holes and providing bracket that I had to go find on my own lol. Worked like a charm. Not putting a front plate on at all, especially since my G isn't my daily driver.Originally Posted by fortified
