I painted the bolts black to match the bracket I bought. Looks fantastic!

Just one question though. The bracket does look a bit far away from the bumper did you ensure the "clamp" is touching the black plastic? As shown on page 5 of my instruction sheet?
License Plate Instructions
Otherwise it looks great I'm glad you like it!

Not sure if I have it correct or not. Here's a pic. Let me know if I need to adjust. I think it is right from what I can tell looking at the pics.

The bracket should be mounted so the yellow line is where the red line is.

On the bracket as outlined by the yellow arrow inside the bumper there's a flat piece and the bracket touches this which allows perfect alignment forward/backward.

I finally got my plates, but haven't mounted the front one yet. I know, I promised pics a long time ago, I'm lazy. ![Smile](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I did to a test fit, and it looks great! Thanks for a great design. I got mine indirectly through BeBeep, but hopefully I'm still part of the family.![Smile](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I don't know if many of you will make it to Las Vegas the end of this month for our MCA show at the Stardust, but I plan on at least entering the Show and Shine part of the show. I might install these for that, or might leave the bumper bare. Dunno yet. I'm not really in it for the win, just because I like showing off my car.![Smile](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Maybe I'll put them together with the plate mounted, and set the assembly on the ground in front of the car, to show it can be installed/removed without marking up the car. Who knows.

That's why I am hoping you still will be making these - in case things get too bad as a result of the winter driving. I would buy another from you now, just in case, if you are still in production!

I haven't installed mine.
I only plan to use it when the car needs to be state inspected. We have to have a front plate to pass, but otherwise I'm keeping the plate off.
Mount looks great! Thanks again for making them.

Hi,
I get a lot of PM's asking me if I'm still producing these, I make about 5 per batch. So there's about 1 week delay between placing your order and it shipping (unless you get lucky and get one from a batch just produced).
For new comers to this thread, please view this post, as it contains photos of what the production version of the bracket looks like "v2":
http://forums.bradbarnett.net/showth...811#post702811
Here's a link to payment information:
http://forums.bradbarnett.net/showth...376#post698376
The bracket price is $35US + $7US shipping to anywhere in the US including APO, Hawaii and Alaska. Total price is $42US.
If your interested please, please paypal me $42US or PM me for more information... I just recently setup a new paypal email fastrackindustries@gmail.com If your from TMS please include your nick in your paypal payment, if you aren't from TMS I would like to know where you heard about my bracket.
Thanks,

Ben, I'll try to get a little sign made up (and maybe some cards with your info) to put out there, or at least have ready to hand out. I still have to get the plate cover so I can put it all together with the clear cover installed. The show is next weekend, and I'm planning on being there all three days.

Hi Ben,
I will be getting my GT 500 in about two weeks, and was curious if these would fit my car?
I live in Brampton and could pick it up, or meet you somewhere if you needed to take measurements.
Any chance you can PM me as I don't get over here very often, and would hate to lose the link to a very cool product.
Cheers,
Barry

Hi all,
As of late I'm getting quite a few requests for a GT500 front License Plate bracket.
If someone that's interested in buying a bracket, can take a few pictures of the underside of the front bumper/measurements like this post:
http://forums.bradbarnett.net/showth...392#post688392
That would be great!
You can post the pictures here or email them to fastrackindustries@gmail.com
Also I would like to Thank the last 4 buyers of my bracket as the supplier where I buy the Aluminum was out of stock for almost 2 weeks. I now have enough to make 10 more brackets. The turn around time is around 1 week once an order is placed (I make them in batches), and until I make enough to create a "stock", there isn't much I can do about the wait time.
The payment is as follows for the Mustang GT bracket:
USA - Includes Alaska & Hawaii - $35US + $7.50US shipping = $42.50US
Canada - $41cdn + ($11 for 7 days or $12 for 2 days shipping) = $52CDN or $53CDN <- Don't ask me why the shipping is more to Canada, I was surprised myself! But the package weighs 350grams, and is 19x16x4cm's.

For you folks following this thread but haven't bought "cause you're still thinking about it". This is a dang clever idea. Ole Ben won't be getting rich (but he may pick up a little beer $), he's put quite a bit of tinker-time on his design and has come up with a really nice solution for those of us who are unlucky enough to be told we gotta have the front plate, yet lucky enough to be driving an 05, 06 or 07 Mustang GT. My bracket fit great (look Ma, ho holes!). I'm using the wing nuts in place of the Nylock nuts that Ben supplies and I keep it in my trunk. I'll put it on for inspections and hope to stay just below the local law enforcement radar. ("Well officer, I took it off for the carwash and just forgot to put it back on. No, really, here lemme show you how easy it goes on.")
I see quite a few non-GT's running around with no front plate too (even though it has a "place" for one), this might fit your car also.
