New Ford front plate mount
Just wanted to l;et you know,Ford has recently come out with a front plate bracket for thr 05-07 Mustangs.I ordered one & picked it up today.You still need to drill your front bumper to mount it,no fancy clips or anything. Not really gaining much here in my opinion.
Cost was $13+change.
I work next to a ton of Ohio state troopers,so not running a front plate isn't much of an option for me.
Just a heads up if you're hoping to not poke holes in your front bumper

Just more plastic to rub on the front bumper paint.

This part was a GT/CS part I believe that Kevin mentioned before. I ordered it by his part number at my dealer and it was around $5. The only problem is, my bumper already has two holes drilled and this mount does NOT match up with those holes. I don't feel like drilling NEW holes for this mount!

Yeah if it's like my brothers Contour it'll probably still rub on the front bumper! I'll stick with my custom made mount

I bought it and installed it several months ago. We have to have a front plate in RI and the ford mount is a lot nicer looking than just screwing the plate to the bumper. I have a plate frame and cover on it too.

I just mounted mine using the existing 2 holes in the bumper,using the top 2 holes in the plate/mount.Doesn't fit the GT bumber as well as the CS I guess.
