Have been trying to come up with a removable front tag bracket. Spent some time with the people from STO N SHO http://www.bigmikesperformanceparts.com They went by and checked out the GLC along with pictures from me and said they didn't have an application that would work on the car. Anyone know of another means to do this without using the tow hook.

There may not be enough demand for sto n sho to create an adapter for the GLC. I have my rear plate in the rear if stopped, because.........the dealer has been unable to obtain the bracket for the front license plate. That is my story and I am sticking to it. I will not drill a hole in the bumper area or use the tow hook option. In an emergency I have black zip ties that I will mount to the grill area and once out of the area I will remove. To each their own choices. Good luck!!!

No, Big Mike said he was concerned about mounting his bracket to the underside of the chrome surround for fear it would crack. Not much there, most of the area is styrofoam for crash impact.

looks like we are back to zip ties and luck.

Is there an area lower that could support the sto n sho?

No.
I may make a copy of tag on card board material and have it lamented and just tuck it inside the opening between framing. I use to do this on my Harley when Maryland used oversize tags... had Office depot copy reduce and laminate.

I don't think that will pass muster. The law requires the actual plate, not a replica or photo of the plate.

Got away with it on the bike...Never had front tags on my Vettes, never got pulled over. Never had front tag on my Excursion got pulled over two times in 15 years. Just a roll of the dice around here.

Concur. Roll of the dice. Often times it is an excuse to stop someone to investigate further. If the driver is not a problem they are usually sent on way with warning.

Exactly.
