denohew Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Hey Guys, I know this is a minor question for some but here in Texas it is the law to have a front license plate. Not on the dash but on the front bumper. I know it is going to kill the front end looks but I have had to deal with this issue on a couple of high end cars. They are telling me here in Victoria, Tx that Ford does not make a bracket for the Shelby. The best that they can do is retrofit one that was made for another car. It sucks, I know but my brother has a new Shelby also and has already been pulled over but given a warning. Also I know they moved the Cobra badge to the other side of the car for airflow reasons but what is a front license plate going to do!!?? Thanks, denohew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2nd2none Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 got a reply from the above link place already. "There is a plan to make one but no time frame for completion yet. Looks like it might be challenging from the initial look at the car. I will keep you in my 2010 GT500 contact folder and let you know what I come up with. Thanks for visiting ccmustangbrackets.com and have a great weekend." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denohew Posted August 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 By the way, the only reason that Texas requires a front plate is that if you "eat it" and leave the scene, you are likely to leave your plate behind! Just a thought, denohew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
