Front license plate mounting

(The badge has since been painted in black chrome)
 
Yes. I am in CA. I've decided to not put it on and take my chances. I have beyond legal window tint in the front anyways, so might as well get extra risky. haha

Speaking of traffic cameras...I was working in Calgary over the summer. They have cameras set up there that tag you for speeding and actually take pictures. It's the biggest cash-grab crock of shit I've ever seen. And their fines for speeding are ridiculous.

You want to talk about a cash grab using cameras: in London, I was driving in c. 6 MPH traffic nearly the whole time (over part of two days). What did I get in the mail two months after we got home? A fine, for something I didn't even know about; might have been a minor violation like a verboten lane change to avoid "going around aaagain", most likely; it sure as hell wasn't for speeding!? It was for eighty bucks American, iirc. Pissed me off, and still does just remembering it, aaagain. :rolleyes:

10Km/h, 6 MPH is $105.00. Every 1 kilometer over is an additional $5. The cameras are province wide. Run a red and speed doing it, double whammy. Running a red is about $400. At least we don't require front plates here, they got rid of those many years ago.
 
Welp. I got nailed by a stupid Meter Maid. My fault for parking on a street that needed a permit (I just didn't read the sign well enough). But because of that they decided to hit me for the front plate missing as well. It's only a $35 ticket, but I'm under the impression I still have to mount the plate and get it signed off. So I just bought a cheaper tow-mount from Amazon and will probably remove the plate once I get CHP to sign off on it. So annoying.

I think the emblem painted in white will look hot too.

Is that a silicone license plate? I love how it looks!

White looks really great but is virtually invisible at a distance (i.e. in traffic) and shows accumulated grunge. I'm proud of it being a Stinger, so I want it to be seen. I painted the OEM badge with "Shadow chrome black-out" which is a near-perfect match for the black chrome trim.

Yes, silicone, works well with our white plates on a white car.

You know what "they" say, "A picture is worth a thousand words." You've mentioned that you darkened the "Stinger" script twice now. :P I'd like to see what the OE script looks like repainted dark chrome. I like the OE (little) script in the center all by itself like that. I like the larger script too, they both look good.
 
I didn't realize that wasn't the darkened one. There's a pic of it here somewhere right after I did it.

Well here it is painted but not on the car. Pretty sure there's a pic of that here somewhere as well..

I agree. A clean look. :thumbup:

Silicone plates work well. Easy to install. :)

I have yet to use it on my Stinger though as I'm waiting on the license plates.

I put a silicone plate holder I got off of Amazon on my rear plate. I bought a second one for the front, but I'm not sure I'm going to use it just yet... gotta figure out the mount first.

The good news is, America won't extradite you for $80. And England has no way to collect until you go back. And I doubt they're so interconnected that they'll force you to pay at customs should you ever return...

Lol, you necromancer, you. This is how I manage to put things out of my mind: take care of them pronto: I sent them a cheque and never looked back.

Is that your Stinger in the picture on Slybracket's website? If so, did you order the 2-screw or 4-screw plate holder and how did you mount it?

That one isn't mine. I'm in Texas and mine's red. It mounts behind the honeycomb grill and I think it was just 2 screws. I told them exact make and model and they sent the bracket if I recall correctly
 
I have no front plate. but if I did it would be a clip-on frame. no way would I put holes in my bumper cover.
 
It's more of a bracket that feeds through grill. No holes in the bumper. Totally agree with that!
