I'm looking for some help and ideas on how/where to mount the front license plate on my GT. I'd really like to stay away from drilling into the bumper. My best idea at this point is to just register it in the state of indiana (where I have a house, and i'm now renting an apartment in Ohio), since Indiana doesn't authorize you to have a front license plate. I'd greatly appreciate any and all ideas!

 

Craig's Custom Mustang Brackets -- work perfectly, and prevent the dreaded drilling you're trying to avoid.

Just leave it off. Illinois requires one. Haven't put one on mine ever.

 

Yea craigs custom brackets works for me... Doesn't look bad and u can remove whenever u want if u go to car shows

 

Jersey too. There's no way I'm putting one on.

 

AM flip plate

I live in Cali.. have had mine for a year and haven't had an issue yet without a plate. Even today coming home from work, I came down a hill about 15+ over the speed limit with a cop about to turn onto the street waiting for me to clear. As soon as I passed he turned onto the street and drove behind me. I thought for sure I was going to get lit up.

Basically, my point is if cops want to bust you they'll find a way. If not, they won't really care about no license plate. I searched on the internet before and found a forum/community where police officers answered questions. Basically the consensus was that they don't pull over people for no plate (in states requiring one) unless there were other reasons to. Unrelated, but they mostly said they'd bust people who toss a cig out the window or drive through a gas station to bypass a red light.

 

In her trunk sense day one.

Knock on wood, or my head.. I've never had any issues and have had my car for 4 yrs, two of which she was my DD. (South Jersey)

 

I have seen a license plate bracket on eBay that mounts to the bottom of your bumper and has an electric motor so it folds down and out of sight at the flip of a switch.

 

Mines under my seat lol

I told my dealer like 5 times while waiting for delivery not to put it on. I said if I come to pick the car up and there's holes in the bumper the deal is off lol.

 

Mine is hanging on the wall in my garage.

 

Cops will usually leave nicer cars like Mustangs and such alone for this...can't look too shady in a new white 5.0

 

I made it through 4 summers before "Barney Fife" decided he needed something to do and pulled me over for no plate. And this was during a busy/nice weekend in small town crawling with Harley's (coming in/out of all the taverns) and this guy went out of his way to pass a group of bikes I was traveling with to make the stop. It was only a fix-it ticket, so I ordered a CC holder, installed the plate, had my local constable come verify it (he could not believe this guy popped me for it) and removed/sold the bracket the following day

I will take my chances and see if I can make it another 4 before finding a bored cop.

 

Will Craig's bracket fit a 2011 V-6?

 

Check his website I think they have one for it

 

+1!!
