I emailed Sto N Sho earlier this week on whether they had addressed sensor interference issues.

"We have made adjustments to the design to eliminate the interference."

I ordered one. I'll put my findings on here when I get it.

Got the bracket this weekend. Installed it and I'm occasionally getting errors that the collision avoidance sensors are blocked. It's weird though because after a while the error will go away and it will be fine. My default the plate is about an inch from the chin spoiler. I pushed it in almost flush and didn't see the sensor errors after that. Thought I had it solved, but got them again this morning with the plate pushed in.

Also does look to be slightly redesigned. The rods still have a slight bend to them but not nearly as much as the OPs pictures.

Can you post some GT pics so we can see how it looks, etc. on your next update?

I purchased one for my GT but I have not mounted it yet. Right now I am using a 30 day tag and no front plate. When the real plates arrive, then I will install the bracket and post pictures.

Here in Colorado I've been warned by a cop that while not having a front plate is a simple $25 ticket; having a forged plate (vinyl sticker not printed by the state) is a felony and $500 ticket and/or jail time. Seems like I might go without or just install my bracket personally.
Good to know.

I don't think I trust the tape option. I have heard of plates falling off that were taped. I would be willing to put a hole under the bumper lip where it cannot be seen without laying down on the ground.

I have my GT with no holes and no front plate. Since the tags are temporary, I have a little time to figure this out. Vinyl seems like it will get destroyed by rocks, so a plate is needed I think.

I really, really don't want a front plate at all. The car looks so good without it. Maybe I will take a chance like others have.
The tape on my Craig's Custom Bracket has failed twice. One time the tape came off the bracket, the other time it came off the car. I don't trust the tape-only attachment any more.

That looks good. Did you get any sensor errors?

Nope. I got the one specifically made for the GT, they bend the bars differently to avoid sensor errors.
That's the one I got as well. Just wanted to validate your experience. Thanks!

Just ordered after reading this too. Thanks!

I have had the license plate mounted for about a week now. Everything works except strangely last night as I slowed down at stoplights I got the beeping from the front sensors. It only did it a couple times and then stopped, so not sure if it had anything to do with the license plate.

Adaptive cruise works fine. The plate is low and I have scraped it a few times on sharp dips, but that is expected. I think it looks great and so much better than the standard bracket. Totally worth the purchase. Get one!

Mike, when you get a chance. Would you mind please a couple pictures from underneath. I would like to see how that attaches. Most appreciative. Glenn

I would have gone right out and taken the pictures but I took my car to the Ford dealership to get all the software modules updated. It looks like it will be tomorrow before I can pick it up. When I get the car back I will post pictures.
