anyone have a license plate bracket suggestion? I have the craven speed and get pre-safe and partktronic warnings

Thanks

I got the one that bolts in the OEM tow hook location. Only bought it in case the wife gets a ticket for no front plate so haven't had any issues. Good luck.

pics of the RHO plate mount? Been looking around for options as well.

MattRubi

I'll post photos as soon as I have the car back from service!

I ordered the RHO plate as well. @MattRubi, pics of it would be great.

MattRubi

I have it adjusted as close to the bumper as possible.
It hasn't fallen, or set off my pre-safe

Jimminez

Looks good. Mine arrived Monday but still haven't takes delivery of the car

Did you try one spot over to move towards the middle to cover the openning? I ordered and extra cover to make a hole for the bolt to barely go through, then will have it painted to color match. That's the plan anyway.

MattRubi

The rep from RHO plate told me to mount in in this spot, so that's what I did. I haven't had an issue so I don't want to mess with it.

You see the tow hitch hole more in the photos than you do in person.

This bracket mounts so close to the bumper that you won't be able to have a hitch cover on it, even with a hole cut in it.

Jimminez

Good to know.

Are you you able to take the bolt out without taking off the plate and plate holder?

noodleman

Thanks for the pics! Does the plate holder looks like it has any kind of give/flex that would cause it to come in contact with the bumper itself? Was any kind of rubber caps/protectors to help keep the plate from touching the bumper (due to wind resistance from driving or a pressure washer).

MattRubi

The plate doesn't have any flex, I'm really surprised how rigid it is once you tighten it down. Granted I've only had it on the car for a few weeks, but it's been great.

The whole unit needs to be disassembled to be removed from the car. The hex head of the stud that goes into the tow hook is practically in the bumber, so it's really not possible to remove it without removing the plate bracket

got off with a warning last week for no front plate so i ordered the RHO

really solid and doesn't look too bad

you can place it right between the sensors so it doesnt trip anything

Jimminez

I have been happy with mine though the exposed gap bothered me so I purchased a second cap and put a hole in it for the holder to go through. Think it turned out great and now just waiting for the paint shop to be done.

I also bought the rho plate. I put some gaffers tape on the back of it just in case the plate and mount got flexed enough to contact the paint but I find this scenario unlikely.

The plate looks great with the cover, I can't wait to see it painted.
