plate, bracket, bottom lip of bumper, and alum. The Ford bracket and the bumper lip could have been drilled so the bolts passed through the alum. The pictures should explain the installation. plates to clamp the bracket to the bumper. The Ford bracket hooks over the bottom lip of the bumper. I used the original Ford bracket, which does detract from the smooth lines of the front of the car, and designed an installation without drilling the bumper. Both of these designs are working and are an option for the installation. He too responded and gave me the details of his modifications. I also sent an email to maxkemp who had responded to the above thread with his own idea to modify Darrell’s design. In true fashion of a fellow TBN’er, he responded telling me he had made only one small modification and his bracket was working fine. I sent dbsupercrew an email to inquire if his design was still viable. I had read a thread on TBN about installing the front plate without drilling holes in the bumper, so my goal was to do just that. On our first outing in the T-Bird I was pulled over and warned, sort of,įor not having a front plate. After owning the car for a few days I decided I didn’t want to drill holes in the front bumper. When I picked up the license plates from the dealer he also gave me the original Ford front plate bracket. I am not a purest car enthusiast – this ’05 T-Bird is the first car of this type I have ever owned - and didn’t really have any feelings one way or the other about drilling holes in the bumper or installing a front plate. Texas requires a front license plate and the previous owner had not installed one. Our car was sold new by this same dealer and has always been a Texas car. He told me a lot of owners didn’t want to drill holes in their car’s bumper and others just didn’t want to cover the clean lines of the T-Bird with a license plate. When I picked up our just purchased ’05 T-Bird I ask the dealer why there was no front license plate bracket.
