NEW PRODUCT: No Drill front plate brackets

Craig's Custom Mustang Brackets
When I see a good product I get it for my car. If I'm going to put it on my car, I'll put in on my web site. This is a great idea and we stocked up with most every kit available
30 of the 50 U.S. States require a front license plate to be displayed. Ford has designed the stock Mustang front fascia's with pre-molded dimples (in most cases) which provide a means/location to attach the license plate using boring type screws. Not only does this ruin your front fascia, it can reasonably reduce the possibility of resale of the car to potential customers in on of the other 20 states and what if you relocate to one of these other 20 states. Now you’re left with two ugly holes in the front of your car.
So if you've "Been tempting fate without a front plate", the small amount you pay now will be much less painful than the $75-$150 you will pay later in traffic citation fees and court costs. And it looks good also! This bracket is hand crafted out of quality aluminum and comes with all stainless steel hardware. What does that mean? "No rust, no corrosion and show quality!"
•Satin powder coated surface
•Requires no maintenance
•Aluminum Construction
•Stainless Steel Hardware
•Easy to install
•100% Satisfaction Guarantee
No Drilling.
Eliminates the concern for drilling directly into the bumper, causing permanent holes.
Easy to Install.
Installation takes only a few easy steps and can be in place in less than 10 minutes.
No rust, no corrosion and show quality.
Hand crafted out of quality aluminum and comes with all stainless steel hardware.
No scratches or annoying vibrating sounds.
Rubber bumper protection in place, so no metal parts of the bracket ever touch the painted portion of the car.

Just $44.95 - $47.95
These are not a 1 size fits all. CCMustang Brackets took the time to measure GT's, V6's, GT500's Roush's, Saleens and so on and made kits specific to each model for a perfect fit!
DRILL FRONT PLATE BRACKET





Here's a quick video we did when we installed it on our 2011 GT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=El9lo...&feature=feedu

I have had this item for the past couple of years. It has worked FLAWLESSLY on my 08 GT/CS. Off for shows, on for street.

It's a shame the factory does not address this issue. The front of our Fusion is ruined with a bracket installed by the dealer. This could all simply be avoided by engineering being thoughtful enough to place the mounting points inside the lower grille where they would be hidden.

i think the drilled front bumper for a plate bracket is a legal thing that scares the dealerships in big cities as I have seen V6 Mustangs through GT-500's hacked for front plates. I specified to my dealer " no front bracket" LOL, the dumb asses removed the bracket and delivered my car with rough drilled holes in the front bumper.

This is a great idea if you can get to the dealer before the prep guys do their thing...

I have the SHR insert in my CS. The insert needs to be notched to fit 100%. It can be used without notching but there is a gap between the insert and the facsia.

It has not moved in over a year in all weahter conditions including below 0.

All normal speeds are fine, although it says on the box that it has not been tested at "excessive" speed.

If you were going to the road course, drag strip or auto cross I'd remove it anyway.
I keep mine in the trunk. it's so easy to install that if I get pulled over I will claim I forgot to put it back on after washing the car and put it on right then and there.

I bet 99% of the officers will be fine with that.

Thanks
Jay

I remember physically taking the plate out of the drillers hands right before he drilled. I had told them not too but since when do they listen. It was a close one. Then of course a freeway tire carcass hit my bumper so I've got a big hole in it anyway.
