aobrien Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 I know many don't want a front license plate bracket, I am one of them. But $150 tickets made me order one. I looked at a few but based on some recommendation on this forum I ordered one from Trailer Re-builders. The guy owns a GT500 and fabricated it. He seemed easy to deal with and the product looks nice. I like the way it mounts from an air flow point of view and the fact it attached to existing factory bolt holes. It has a rubber mount to reduce vibration. I will keep you posted once I receive it. I have no affiliation with them. http://trailerrebuilders.com/services Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ingram4868 Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 It's a quality product. It also helps to protect the air dam from parking curbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enormous Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 I just made one exactly like that at the fab. shop at work with some scrap stainless steel. It too less than 10 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra007 Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 If you want the best custom bracket out there then this is it! Doug has posted here before and here is the info he sent out last time. I have his Aluminium/Stainless unit and it works perfectly, no drilling, fits in almost the same position as the factory plate for air flow, etc. Very quality work and it's "floating design" adheres to the lower grill without damage due to vibration. -Bill- ********** Sorry Guys I do not get enough time to keep up on these sites so often. I also have difficulty reducing some of the file sizes to fit on as attachments. Here are two pics A001 Design Aluminum/ Stainless Steel design, Laser cut manufactured. Sells for $150 CAD including shipping anywhere is continental USA or Canada. A002 Aluminum/Black ABS design. CNC machined and looks great. Sells for $250 including shipping anywhere in continental USA or Canada. Email me at dmctag@sympatico.ca for full details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't installed it yet as my car's still in storage, but yes, it does look to be very sturdy and of very good quality. The guy (Ken?) was good to deal with as well. My only concern is the weight, as it is relatively heavy. There have been several posts on this product in the past, and no one mentioned any issues, so I don't think there'll be any problems. Can also post pics when I install it in a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But anyway its very simple and since it doesnt mount in the meshing of your car it wont cause any cracking. It sits on a rubber pad to stop vibration. And for $60.00 it cant be beat.

ingram4868 Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 I think it looks a lot better in that location than the one I have from trailer rebuilders, but it is sitting right in front of the intercooler. Has anyone driven with it in place during summer? As we have all heard, if the incoming air charge gets hot the computer starts to pull timing.

trichie Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Has anyone seen this one? It folds out of the way when you don't need it. http://www.ninosport.com/Altec-Show-n-Go-L...p;category=-101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aobrien Posted March 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Has anyone seen this one? It folds out of the way when you don't need it.http://www.ninosport.com/Altec-Show-n-Go-L...p;category=-101 That looks really interesting. Have you installed one? After watching the video I am wondering if the bracket touches the bumper? Also wondering if the license plate and bracket will move back and forth when you are driving at various speeds, would that movement touch the bumper? If you have one installed can you post pictures that show the gap from the bracket to the bumper. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering if it would rattle, kind of looks like it would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is sitting in a box. Kind of hard to describe but it struck me as kind of cheap and flimsy. I have the Craig Broussard product but mine is a SGT and not a GT500. I do not know if his will fit on the GT500. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
