My '87 T/A never had a front plate. I got my hands on the what I believe is the right bracket GM part #10024283. It does not exactly conform to the nose of the car. Are there special screws or did I maybe get the wrong bracket? If anyone has any pics, I'd really appreciate it.

 

o no , please dont put the stock plate on, you have to put holes into the bumper and it wrecks the looks. it you are set on a front plate i just bought a plate bracket . Its L shaped and goes on the bottom of the bumer and you dont need screws. I have three pics for ya. give me a sec and i have them all on here for ya. WHATEVER YOU DO DONT PUT THE STOCK FRONT PLATE BRACKET.


NO PLATE LOOKS THE BEST

 

the stock plate bracket doesnt fit correctly and wrecks the front bumper.heres a pic of the stock plate bracket.

 

this is the bracket i just got , i havent recieved it though, im not gonna give you pics of it on unless i get pulle dover and have to put it on. Ask the guy if hell put up another auction and youll be set. It was 36 dollars with the money order and shipping.heres what you should get , and please dont ruin your car with the stock bracket.

 

here's anothe rpic of it and the link . http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2416196753

 

Thanks nolanr0413. I could probably make something like that. I'll give it a go.

 

I got pulled over twice the first day I got my car for no front plate. So I got my dad to bend a plate like the one in your picture for my car. It is just made of aluminum and doesn't bolt onto the nose. It uses the holes that the nose used to bolt to the car. Works perfect, never had a problem, and now the cops have nothing to pull me over for..... well maybe some things!

 

i removed my state plate & got pulled over for it after a few days...i had dale jr's plate on there ...he didnt give me a ticket for it but a warning so i had to put it back on there....@#$%*n l@ws i think with the state plates on an fbody ruins the car!!

 

Havent had mine on since I painted my car...Sits nicely in the Windsheild...Never got pulled for straight pipes either!

 

Wanted to let folks know that I supply an aluminum license plate bracket.

It is over half the cost of what the other guy on eBay is charging for "powder-coated" brackets that are sure to rust.

Like all of you, I hate putting plates on these cars, but there is a better alternative if you don't want to build one of these yourself.

I dont know where you are, but I never put a front plate on any of my 3 camaros and I never got pulled over :-D Im in utah...

 

What part of Utah are you in? I'm up by Ogden. I got my IROC with a front plate on it -- looked terrible. No mounting bracket at all was used, just two screws drilled into the grill. Took it off 3 months ago and haven't been pulled over yet. Mwahahaha....maybe the cops favor thirdgens out here?

 

Ya, Im in Rosepark, semi close to downtown. A guy at my work has a Jeep Cherokee that has no bracket in front, and he got a ticket, so now he keeps it in the window. I never got busted at all... I guess they do like F Bodies.....

 

No front plates in Alabama...and no safety/emissions inspections either.

 

The whole state? sweet.... In utah, You need emissions, but up north, where my boss lives, they have a 2nd gen with streight pipes, and its perfectly legal... Here it depends where you are.

I have even driven way up north once to take it to a body shop with no plates at all, never got pulled over or nothing...

 

chit ... i wish the previous owner would have used that instead

 

i got custom side mount. NICE
