I'll test fit it once it get's here, and take pics.![Smile](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

I haven't seen any install photos except for mine so I can't wait.

It's already starting to peal in areas. I'm going to leave the parts with the black alone since I'm afraid of that stuff coming off if I try messing around with paint remover.

I want one!
Fastrack, sent you an email too. How do I pay? I've got a paypal account but have only used it for ebay stuff. Your bracket is the best solution I've seen to the front plate requirement!
Thanks,

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone else has installed there's yet ? I've shipped out 8 of these brackets, and BeBeep & Sis27 are the only ones to post results.
I currently have payment for 2 more and 3 are on the waiting list.

Hi, Ben - I just got mine last Thursday and have not yet put them on the car. I plan to do so in the next day or two to check the fit. I am awaiting my plates at this time.
They look great!

If you do not want to use a plate cover, 1/4" x 20 (thread pitch) - 3/4" long bolt from homedepot will barely stick out.

Got them and installed (no pics yet, sorry). Great product (thx Ben). Install was a piece of cake, didn't even read the instructions, although Ben has made them very detailed, so I figured since it's like 3 or 4 pages with pictures (something a lot of manufacturers should learn).
The plate bolts are long, but figured it's an option for folks that have plate covers. Nothing the Dremel can't take care of or new bolts like Ben mentioned above. And D@mn if the holes on the brackets didn't line up perfect with the dimples on the bumper, you'd think he used a laser or something for as many as he's making!!!
Way to go Ben, great product!!!!

Ben,
I installed the bracket yesterday. I must say it was very easy to do. I used a cover over mine. I would like to mount the bolts in the opposite direction because I think the nut kind of sticks out a bit. The problem with that is the nut would then hit the bumper or have the potential to.
I used a similar bolt for the bottom plate holes but they have a rubber washer that goes around the bolt head for a chrome cap to pop on.
Looks nicer beacause it's flush. The end of the bolt doesn't touch anything like the top one would. I will be scouting the local hardware stores for a possible alternative. If anyone comes up with a good idea i'm all ears.
BTW- I put mine on for the shows because of the unique vanity plate!

Yep, good point, I'd also like the nut to be on the other side, or use some type of cap. Problem is the caps are usually for the bolt head and are not deep enough for a nut. I'll be looking into this too... Love it, nothing like team work...

The other solution I mentioned above is the 3/4" bolt, it might fit with your cover and not stick out as much.
Hey it would be easier for me as well, less work on my part. I wouldn't have to counter sink the two plate holes

I installed mine the other day. Easy install nice craftmanship. I would recomend getting the wing nuts like Ben recomends it is just a little eaisier to handle wiht then but either way it was a piece of cake. Oh and deffinately use the shorter bolts for the plate the ones it comes with are just too long. Nice work thanks Ben.

There's no real happy medium with the length of the bolt. 3/4" might be fine for some people (which is why I recommended it). Some others might choose to dremel the bolt - just be careful you smooth out the threads or the nylon lock nuts will get destroyed.
Glad you like it.

The wait is the hardest part! Careful when you first leave the dealer though, as I almost left a patch on the road; since it was about 3 months since driving one! I forgot how much power it had!
