Default Front License Plate Bracket

Anyone have an idea for a front license plate bracket? I have to put one on my 2001 SS and it covers my SS grille... this isn't going to work.. I was thinking take the grille out and drill holes in the bottom and create L-brackets so the plate hangs off the bottom of the car right below the SS but this might look stupid.. anywhere else it either covers up a light or is basically just under the car.. All feedback is welcome..

mmm 160 bucks for a motorized license plate.. you gotta get the motorized one.. just so you can look like a total bad *** in parking lots. Which one did you get? The lowest I found so far was on flip plate.

Have you been yelled at by the fuzz yet? I've been w/out my front plate for 5 years or so and haven't had a problem. Neither has my buddy w/ his SS (SLP Grill). I say just run w/out one. If you ever get pulled over just kindly ask the cop where you're supposed to mount a plate on a vehicle w/ no mounting location; and that you're not drilling holes in a $300 grill.

and yes, Ohio plate laws do indeed suck...

mine cost me 135 shipped from ebay.

the brand Altec model 400eu.

you will see that they might be listed for c6,chargers, mustangs,etc.

they are all the same one. they are universal and will fit on any car.

if you dont want to spend that much you can get the manual one for about 55 shipped.

Ill wait until I get pulled over for it... hopefully I get a warning though. If the ticket runs me around $150 dollars as i expect ill just get the motorized one... It protects my grille and if i ever go to sell the car.. it's just one of those little things that gives your vehicle the extra eye candy. Thanks all for your suggestions and feedback.

I am dreading putting on a front license plate. No way around it for me since I park my car at the fuzz's parking lot.
