Yeah I bought that one from Craig maybe a month ago. It works great. There is a bracket that is suppose to have 3m take on it already when u get the package. Mine didn't have the 3m tape so I called up Craig (if I recall correctly, he gives you 2 phone #'s) He said he would reimburse me for the 3m take that I buy at the parts store (Autozone is where I went). and did it the same day. After checking out the fit before I used the 3m tape, I thought it was going to be a close fit (not tall enough in the back) but I then realized I had the back bracket upside down and it then fit perfectly, nice and snug.

It's got bumpers on the back of the front bracket that press up against your bumper. I'm pretty sure that if these were not there and the bracket wasn't touching the plate, it would probably not last long, so this was done just right

To be honest, I'm quite suprised that it has not gotten loose yet, So I am giving it 2 thumbs up! Well worth it.

If for any reason you are thinking about getting the other popular one that even comes with a remote if you want to hide it, remember that you have a GT and the remote one would have to be installed off-center. The GT has a center column in the bottom grille. I was thinking about getting this one until I realized I had this. Craigs bracket works around it.

Had mine for about 10 months now. No problems. Easy to take off at shows and very easy to put back on.

I added that to my favorites... I have decided to wait for my first ticket.. meanwhile I keep my front plate in my trunk. If I get pulled over I will act "dumb" and say "there is no place to put one". That looks like a great idea though , glad so many have had good luck with it.

Default Made my own license plate bracket

I was not sold on this design being solid and I did not like the plate being in the middle of the bumper. I just made my own bracket that puts the plate down on left side lower grill. I designed it to be bulletproof and easily removal. It did require drilling two small holes in the lower grill but the holes are not noticeable when the plate is removed because they are in the grill hatching. My design allows quick easy removal and does not touch the paint at all. It is made out of aluminum and I gave it a brushed finish. I did it all for $15 and a Sunday afternoon. I posted pics on my facebook:

I will be posting better pics soon.
