Without "messing up" your car, I'd say look into the "Show-N-Go" bracket.


*edit*
You, and your ninja post, suck.

i'd go with electric. Its similar to a cutout, everytime you want to move it, you dont want to be getting down on the ground.

Also because of the shape of the nose you have to put it off center.

I don't, I just get speeding tickets. I have a feeling the OP might have been doing something else to warrant such interaction with a LEO.

Mine is off center but I don't have to "get down on the ground." Its very accessible in the standing posture.

Since this topic is up how do you remove the front plate cover on birds without jacking it or the bumper up? I've searched on tech but we all know how bad that function is..

if its from the dealer your going to have to drill into the car... I thought you didnt want to do that

I have a front bracket from the dealer i would have sold you for 20 lol its just sitting in my closet... it makes the car look buck toothed, it comes lose after a while and its just ... a pain...

that is the factory one drilled into the front just under where it says "SS". Its an old pic. Thats another reason i hated the plate, it covers the "SS" i actually had the bracket on upside down so it would cover it less. Ive since took it off and now it just doesnt have a front plate.

if i decide to ever get one tho i would go for the show and go.

btw what town did you get pulled over for the tints?

You can make a bracket with some metal stock from Home Depot. It does not have to look hacked, either.
