For those you unfortunate enough to live in two plate states, how are you mounting your front plate? I’ve used the tow hook mounts on previous cars but this looks it could interfere with with intercooler. My car’s coming in this week and I already told them not to drill anything. I want to avoid resting it on the dash. Zip ties maybe?
Still waiting on my plates but I checked out the bracket. It’ll fix anywhere on the lower horizontal slat on the grill. So you can center it or have it off to the side. It’s easy to install, the instructions are a little convoluted. Probably going to leave the plate on the dash and see how it goes. If it attracts too much attention I’ll use the plate Mount. Zero drilling though.
You will have to set the license plate all the way to the left side (looking anteriorly/straight at the bumper) to not freak out the parking sensor system.
The plate took about 5 business days to get to. They're from British Columbia so it will vary from what country you're from.
Been using slybracket for about 7 months now. I like it. Without the front plate is way better, but this was the best option I could find. Expensive though!!! But, no drilling needed. I can take it off when I need to.

is that Patagonia Red? Looks way better than on the web site if it is.
Yup. It is Patagonia Red. And yes. It really does look way better than the MB website. But I wanted some color, so I took a chance. In the MBUSA.com, the color looks supper muted.
Nice ride, congrats. Let us know how the plate works out. I still haven’t had issues with no plate yet, but Im sure its a matter of time.
Thanks! Finally got the bracket installed. Went with the 2-screw holder and easy to install (although it didn't feel that secure so I drilled 2 holes in the plate and put 2 more screws on the sides using existing holes in the bracket that were not being used, had to pick up some extra screws for that). Seems secure, worked out and looks great, but I just have a small concern that over time it will have an abrasive affect on the horizontal grill slats. I put it offset because I just liked it better that way.
Overall I would recommend but will see in the long run how it does.

Mountain Grey Magno with Night and Aero package?? Nice!!
Anyway, I had the same concern about the potential abrasive affect as well, So I cut a few pieces of non-slip rubber (or silicon) and kept them between the brackets and grill slats. Hopefully it will do the job, and also it is only a 'potential' issue. Dont really know if I created a solution for a problem that doesn't exist
I didnt modify it with any extra screws as you did, but everything seems secure so far. 7 to 8 months in now.
