Does anybody out there have a front license plate brakcet that they are not using I could buy from you?
It needs to fit a front mtech bumper and I would prefer it to be deep sea blue metallic (A76).
We are supposed to have a front bracket on our cars in Missouri but I have been trying to sneak around as long as possbile hoping the police would not care, but I have been warned several times now and I guess I better take care of it. Even though it ruins the look of the car!
Please PM me if you have this part.
Thanks!

Nooo! Don't drill into your bumper. I've seen some folks install their front plate within the woven-mesh area of the M-tech bumper. You should be able to use zip-ties at each plate hole to mount it. I'll try to find pics and post it.

Use this for your bumper.
License bracket
Don't drill the hole!!! This is so easy to install too. and looks so nice!
If you want pics, I can provide it to you too. Also you can adjust the height of the plate.

for our Mtech bumper should we get short or medium
hmm. I got the medium one. It sticks out a little bit, but you need that anyway so the license doesn't scratch. You can get the short one if you want, its 1/2 inch shorter.
Actually now that I think of it. I should have gotten the short one, so I can take it off for meets and stuff.. Darn it!!
Oh wellz, definitely get it instead of the OEM bracket.

here's the pix from the site above. looks like a great alternative. it would be the route i take. drilling is not even an option!
Those are a great idea, they look adjustable so you could reverse the placement to below the bumper as well ............

Gents - I have this on my bumper and it's great. In fact, I'm the one who told everyone about this a while back on an older thread I wrote. Good to see my fellow brothers actually paid attention to something I posted.
