Front license plate bracket - 84 Bird

Attached are pictures of the front of the Bird - Can someone send me a picture of what and how the license plate bracket attaches - as well as which bracket it should be. I have a plastic plate holder that fits the V of the nose - however, not sure if it is correct or not? thx byron

Here are the original brackets: http://moderndaymuscle.com/inc/sdetail/199/956
Here is the mounting plate: http://www.classicindustries.com/pro...ts/152929.html You need both.

This is what I put on mine, looks much better whether hidden for a show or up and exposed: http://www.classicindustries.com/pro...arts/a400.html

As long as you do not have to drill into that front cover your good to go.

I used brackets that came from around the red bowtie insert for my plate on my Camaro.
You could have the brackets come from around the bottom of the cover for yours.
Cops made me put a plate over my $100.00 red bowtie insert.

I can send pictures in the morning of my 88 firebird.

P.s What bumper inserts (or what ever they are called) are those? I love how they are grilled!

Re: Front license plate bracket - 84 Bird

Thanks for the responses from everyone. Ghettobird52 - the grills were ordered off the net a couple of years ago. Unfortunately I have to recall of what or whom? Mantaguy - I will pm you about your brackets. Thx again to all - Byron
