Re: license plate bracket for the front of my bird

yea im at work now but ill take a picture for ya.

theres 2-3 different ways to mount it to make it universal for whatever car you may have.

but basically you drill 3 holes underneath your bumper and bolt it in plain and simple. like i said took me 15mins

and for car shows i can fold it down and slide it underneath the bumper its great

Re: license plate bracket for the front of my bird

i have the same plate bracket as bobby, i recommend it for a 3rd gen bird, its very nice and you dont have to drill holes in the front of the bumper.

it mounts with bolts through the bottom of the nose in the front, and i made a little aluminum bracket to secure the back end to the bumper support. its rock steady and a trick little piece
