Default GTO Front License Plate

















Made the mount myself. Two aluminum 1"X1/8" flats, 8 screws and a vice.

Nice and low. It helps that the license plate wasn't already mounted.

i did something simular, but i cut my plate on the top and bottom to fit inside the grille and then i edged it with door jam piping and zip tied it on.

Thumbs down Do What the Man Says

After avoiding having to put the front plate on for a year, I have gotten two tickets recently to put it on as required by Colorado law. (One was from a parking cop who must not have had anything better to do with his time.) I like Gotza's solution of trimming the plate and fitting it inside the lower grill opening. Any effect on the engine temp, since it appears to block flow a bit to the radiator? Any other suggestions for engineering it would be appreciated.

Too bad front plates are required at all, but yours looks good.
