Anybody ever relocate your license plate on the front bumper? I installed my GTCS lower grill insert this weekend but it is blocked by the factory license plate brkt. I thought maybe someone has come up with a different brkt or way to relocate it. Of course I have to have the license plate installed because I live in Texas. And now I allready have huge holes in the front bumper. So relocating it highr seams to be my only option. Any help would be appreciated.

How about these, they are retractable:

These are motorized and remote controlled:

Retractable - to where? Remote controlled - does it fly like a rc heli? Sounds like a waste of $$ to me.

I live in a state that requests you use both plates too. They also request you drive a max of 65 mph, not break traction, not drive aggressive, not race, not get laid in your car, etc. etc. etc. OMG now Im worried - what if they nail me w/o a front plate - I'm so f n screwed!

My front plate has never been on my 007 stang and is hangin in my garage along with the front plate to my other 2 vehicles 1 of which has been there 7 yrs now.

My mom doesn't like to take any risks or break any laws either - she drives a volvo. lol

I'm a new Illinois resident and a new Mustang owner from Indiana where no front license plate required. I don't like the look of a plate on the front of my Mustang. Anyone from Illinois that can tell me if Illlinois enforces having its plate on the front?

Thanks

Yes, speaking from experience. Actually it's a favorite excuse of cops everywhere.

I found that out here in Ohio as well. Thought I was safe as I passed tons of Vettes, Porsches, and BMWs with no front plates every day. No such luck -- got pulled over twice in 2 weeks (must be a Mustang thang...) but talked my way out of the ticket both times.

I bought one of the manual 'show-n-go' plate mounts (mostly so I would not have to drill my fascia). Works great. You can see it 'retracted' in my sig picture.

I've been driving mine for 2 years in Texas with no front plate, no problems. Half of that time was in Houston, half in College Station. I also know plenty of guys from the DFW area that don't run front plates and haven't heard of any of them getting tickets.

I was just givin my opinion and tryin at some humor in the process. I have the greatest of respect for the men who died at the Alamo, the dallas cowboy cheerleaders, country fried steak and the great (BIG) state of TX - sorry you seemed offended by my remarks dude.

To answer your question: There is no such thing as a "factory license plate brkt" on the front of the 2007 Mustang GT. The license plate frame on the front is installed by the dealer. (Admittedly, I could be wrong and they actually do make a special edition for TX?) Just pick a location you think looks best and put it there. Simple.

I had a PT Cruiser several years ago, drove it without plates for about 2 years. then one day a cop that had seen me hundreds of times before decided to be an **** and pulled me over and gave me a ticket. Since then plates on front of all my cars. I know it sucks but it cheaper than the ticket was.

sorry myself dude, I guess I did take it as S.A. remark, I never have a problem with a little humor tho.

I'll take my chances... Stangs with front plates look like ***. I just consider it a [possible] $250 mod.
