License Plate Bracket Kit

WickedBMW · 10-18-2021, 02:55 PM

Can anyone recommend a license plate bracket so I don't have to drill holes into my bumper. Thank you

Sto n Sho or Carbonio. I have the Sto n Sho and works great as I only mount my plate maybe once a month when parked in NYC. Takes under 4 seconds to mount and take off.

Can you provide a picture of where you put the Sto n Sho mount?

Here you go. Right under front bumper using existing screws

I don't see a pic here, unless it's my computer!

Rho plate as well. Plenty of other threads on this

Here are the install instructions for the Sto N Sho. I already have mine. All I need now is a car.

I keep going back and forth on my G83. I love the look of the Sto n Sho, but my current front license plate has an iPass transponder attached to it. If I remove my front plate, I then have to attach the transponder to my front windshield, which I don't want to do. Anyone else have the same issue? If I manually hold it up, I should be fine but if I forget to hold it up, I will then get a ticket because the photo will show no front plate.

If the choice is between front plate or transponder tucked adjacent to rear view mirror on passenger side, hardly visible, the answer is easy for me.

I appreciate the peer pressure. The Sto n Sho has been ordered!

Just fitted the Sto N Sho after getting two tickets in NYC!

I had the Rho plate before but hated the look of the plate off to one side in the tow hook.

This is best of both worlds. I can pop it on when parked and otherwise just leave it off when going for a drive although I may just leave it on most of the time. We will see but I don't want a third ticket!

The clearance is definitely reduce a little bit but not bad. This was so easy to fit, love the way it uses the existing holes and screws in the bumper, well designed

Made it to GA; no front plates required

My registration came in and I need to put on the plate. You said there's two screws under the bumper already that can be used?

Yeah, the kit utilises the existing screws and holes under the bumper. No drilling required. I fit it in two minutes with very basic adjustable wrench. Super easy
