Anyone mount their front license plate using Sto N Sho bracket?

You slid the bottom part forward and drilled a new hole into the bumper below you mean?

Oh, interesting. I think mine would still scrape. The bottom of my plate scrapes when I go out of my driveway unless I go out at an angle when I have the Sto N Sho. It's not the end of the world, but I also am not a huge fan of scraping noises.

I would definitely not like mine scraping. It must be a really sharp angle. I have only scraped mine when getting too close to a high curb.

Anyone aware of a discount code for the Sto-N-Sho? About to order one to be sent to the UK and I noticed a code box.

Sign up for their VIP texts and they send a discount code. Also, check their YouTube videos and others’ that will have an affiliate link for a discount. That’s what I did back in March.

I used the Welcome $5 code and just ordered - me being impatient as always.
Thank you though.

I purchased two kinds of plastic license plate covers: a flat one to put the vinyl simulated plate on, and a curved one to cover up and protect the vinyl plate.

The flat one:
Zone Tech Clear License Plate Shields - 2-Pack Novelty/License Plate Clear Durable Flat Thick Shields - Walmart.com

The curved one:
Auto Drive Universal License Plate Cover Unbreakable Clear Dome - Walmart.com

After 2 years, the flat plastic shield cracked badly, taking the plate with it. Perhaps I tightened the bolts a little too much. I've got another shield somewhere, not sure I want to use it.

Did you have a vinyl copy of your plate on the front like me? Wow. I didn't think about the possibility of that happening. I would order a new one. I wonder if they keep the image on file so I can just reorder?

Yes, a vinyl plate, stuck to the flat shield. The bubble cover is mostly fine. They did not offer a reprint discount, now charge a little more, and no coupons. The plate was fine before the plastic disintegrated, so I gritted my teeth and reordered. I do have the extra shield, I will think about how to make it last longer.

There are some that say they won't shatter. That is the kind I purchased.

Yep, mine said that too. Same Zone Tech brand, can’t vouch for Amazon fakes. I probably messed up and tightened too hard. I got a replacement Sto’n’sho, so I tightened it up 2 or 3 times.

I've been flouting the law for over three years now with no front plate.

Nobody has cared, or even noticed.

We have never put a front license plate on my wife's 2008 Mustang (bought new in Dec 2007). We bought a Mach-E and as the dealer was installing the plates we ask him not to put front license plate on. The cops around here have much more important things to do than to write tickets on such a thing. If stopped for something else, maybe they will site us, but it is such a minor fee (if they don't just give us a warning) we will just pay the fee and put the plate on at that time, if it comes to that.

That’s why a Sho-n-sto is useful. You can remove the plate whenever, or leave it on for the towns and parking garages where you might get a warning the first time, and a non-minor ticket the next.

I got pulled over for speeding a couple weeks ago. He gave me a warning. If I didn't have a front plate, would he have given me a warning about that also? Or maybe that would be a fine? Nobody knows what he would have done, of course, but if the front plate is on, I don't have to worry about that. I just need to pay more attention to where the speed traps are. LOL.
