OEM front license plate bracket

kobnj · 05-18-2012, 09:03 AM

Did anyone have this installed on their Z? It came with my Z and my state requires a front plate. If so, does someone have a pic? I am wondering how it looks on the Z. I know holes have to be drilled for this and another option is the Stillen.

The holes are drilled through the black plastic where the two divits are. Word of caution. Make sure you use short screws on the top holes that hold your plate on. Otherwise screws that are too long will cut into your paint and mark it up. Look close at the picture below and you can see the damage.
