Hey, first reply to a post. Noticed you don't run front plates on yours but you've had the car since august. Any problems with that yet? I bought a 2011 black shelby with silver stripes, and electronics package last month. It would be such a shame to ruin the look of the front of the car by installing the plates.

I took those pics when I had the dealer stickers. I purchased a brace for $50.00 that mounts to the lower grill plastic. I did a search for shelby front plate bracket. No drilling, no apparent damage in using for a month or so now. Forget the name, I;ll look it up.

Here's a link to pictures of the bracket that is on my 2011 Shelby. And where I found the bracket I liked. Its hidden and looks like it bolted in the stock location, centered on the bumper.

Thanks for the info everyone. Here's another bracket that I found. I think it's the most expensive one out there.

Gustang and I have been running w/o a front plate for a long time and never had an issue.

That settles it than. I'm running with no front plates for now. They're going to have to force me to put it on. Thanks for that info. I've been looking at tons of different forums regarding the front plate issue and have been seriously considering running w/o front plates. Hopefully I don't have any issues with it like you guys. If I do I'll deal with the consequences. The car just looks better with no front plates.
