What bracket are y'all using for the hidden plate?

Mine is under the seat of my jeep. I had the show and go on my camaro. Its alright but it got a little beat up from driveways etc. Still functioned, just the channels it slides on were custom smashed.

Just got pulled over in NY for this and an inadequate muffler for the first time of owning this car in 9 years.
i've been thinking of something similar to that or just get suction cups so i can pop it on and off my front windshield when i cross into NJ since that is generally where i drive.
The other option was trimming my front grill to fit one of the shuttered doors for the plate.

It's a $65 equipment ticket. Being that this is your seasonal toy, I suggest you just roll the dice.
I believe Josh aka The Flying Dutchman has the Show and Go on his '97.

I use the one in the OP. I'm on my second cause I broke the first one tripping over it while washing the car (forgot I had it halfway down to wash bumper). I have no complaints, I'm stock ride height and I've yet to hit it.

Had one on my Goat and couldn't keep it from flopping forward.

I built a hidden bracket setup many years ago but then it got annoying and I decided to just run no front plate. It’s a $54 equipment fine (no points/non moving violation)

Used this twice and it worked flawlessly. Just make sure your bumper looks new

technically if you read the law the front window isnt sufficent so if the cop that stops u is gonna give u a ticket for no plate to begin with ur gettin a ticket for having it in the window... if the cop wants to he can give u obstruction of view as well... ps I am extremely pro LEO.. most cops could care less... they use it as a means to see what you have in your vehicle aka u have a 95 civic no front plate, fart can, your license plate bulbs are out.... bend over

Agreed.
Ive also been told avoid putting in anywere in the front its not supposed to be. Like the windshield. Kinda like a outa sight outa mind thing.

I run the show n go on my G8. Mine is the motorized version with a remote. I've been using it for about 9 years and haven't had any problems.

Mine is right where it’s supposed to be... on the beer fridge.

Been back in NJ since November, haven't had an issue other than a local cop just teasing me about it at a Wawa after BS'ing with me about the car for a few minutes.
Screw the man and his BS laws.
