Yeah i think im supposed to have one in nv but i dont wanna put one on. The dealer drilled holes in my bumper for the dealer plate and i was pissed. Ill post some pics later, cause my sig is just from a game
You don't need one in Nevada!!
When i bought my car the holes werent drilled yet and the dealer told me i could drill them myself!!
Instead of drilling i put the plate in the front windshield.... couple months later i got pulled over and the cop told me to take it down cuz it would be a health hazard if i was to get in a car accident it would fly back!!
He said nevada state law says that if u dont have anywhere to put it dont put it up at all!!
So i just keep it in the glove box!!

Being the dumbass, I let the dealer put the bolts in for a plate before I picked up the car. I drove around with the license plate on for all of maybe two or three weeks, then pulled it off and havent had it on since (2 years ago). I live in Missouri, but every time I ever have been pulled over, they seem to forget saying anything once I get asked for my DL and they see my badge (fire dept) that I have in my wallet, and I havent gotten a ticket in over 15 years though I've averaged getting pulled over at least once every year.

BUT, when Bucephalus finally gets these complete and for sale, I will gladly buy one (nudge nudge.... ). The thread showing them is here: https://mustangforums.com/m_4223141/tm.htm Click on the link he provides to see it in action. I will definately NOT be drilling into my GT500 front end to display the plate in the normal way, so this is the only option I will consider.....I just want him to hurry up and get the production going :]. Just an FYI, he is working on the patent and all the licensing as far as I last heard..

I guess the police in my area don't have anything better to do.

I live in a rural area.

I went with the Cobalt side mount one I found. Not great, but it's out of the way, requires no holes
and is a little "different". You can see it in this picture, unfortunately I don't have a good one I can link to,
just this one:



But the second pic on this page:

Has a front shot.

I got it from Moss.

Ford does make a front plate plastic mount for the Mustangs. Bought mine @ dealer.Sorry, I don't remember the Pt#.
I live in OH & work next door to the Highway Patrol, so not running a front plate isn't an option for me.
Old pic of mine, but shows the plate mount.

I live in Ohio and didn't want to poke holes in the front fascia to mount the plate. I bought a front bracket for my 08 GT from this guy. I highly recommend him. Fast delivery, great product, easy to install and remove if needed.
