    Hey Gang,

    Unfortunately in Canada, we have to affix a license plate to the front of the car. I am trying to avoid having holes drilled in the bumper. Does anyone know of a company that provides a bracket system for the front license plate? Alternatively, does anyone have any suggestions on how to affix it without drilling into the bumper?

    Thoughts appreciated.

    Bruno

    I did, however, I was advised against it as it blocks air flow to the radiator and can affect cooling of the car.

    Check out the Fabspeed website. They had some options for the 360 and 430

    I just mail ordered the Carbonio mount. Looks very simple but I haven't used it yet.

    I personally dislike the look of off center plates. If / when I mount mine I will want it centered.

    Try calling Fabspeed in lieu of the website ordering. I called them and was able to get one for my 360. It just arrived yesterday.

    So on the front of my 360 I have a vinyl sticker that a friend made for me. It is 3 years old now and still looks great. I also have discussed this with 3 different law enforcement officers and none of them had a problem with me using a sticker. They all said maybe a Texas DPS Trooper may have a problem if it would not reflect a laser speed gun, but I think it would work like a regular front licence plate.

    As avid car enthusiasts governed by the same front plate laws and also not liking the offset centre mounts we have created our line of No-Drill License Plate Brackets. They mount on and off the car easily in seconds leaving no damage of any kind due to their soft contact points. This leaves it up to you and makes it easy to run the plate after a show, track day etc. Our mounts are secure, stable at speed, and do not affect cooling.

    We have recently signed up a number of Ferrari Dealerships as authorized distributors of our product, so you may check with your local dealership or simply order direct through us. Relevant to this section, we have all 430 models covered, and beyond that we have a bracket for almost every Ferrari 1948 to present.

    I have the Dynamic Technology one mentioned in one of the posts above that I would sell for $50 + shipping if anyone is looking for one. It is unused.

    While the sticker option is definitely more aesthetically pleasing, it is still considered illegal. Some have mentioned that it might be worse, as it is forging government documentation, like making a copy of your health card for example. Not sure if that has ever been been a problem for anyone though.

    I used the new Velcro made for exterior use....uv resistant and 15lbs holding strength.
    Bought at Lowes for about $12. Works so far.

    But in truth, if the adhesive is that strong, there's a good chance it will pull the paint off underneath...is that better than drilling some holes? Up to you.

    Fwiw, I bought a retractable license plate holder off eBay for about $50. Doesn't fit the 360. Maybe if I spent more time /$ modifiying it.

    Thanks group. I recently ordered a the "Sto N Sho" bracket from Big Mike's Performance. Looks really nice and it can be removed for shows, track days, etc. I contacted them and they just made a batch for 360's.

    Post back after it's installed.
    Great solution if it works. But looks a lot like the one I bought that I couldn't make work.

    I worked with Mike on the original fitment of the Sto N Sho for the 360. I've had it on my car for a couple of years now. Works great, and very reasonably priced compared to the alternatives.

    Yesterday, I received the Sto N Sho. On visual inspection, it looks to be of really great quality and well thought out. I plan to install it over the next few days. Stay tuned for pics.

    We have been asked by some customers if our mount requires bolting or gluing anything to the car and the answer is a resounding NO. Our mounts are fully self contained and require no vehicle modification of any kind. Once off there is ZERO trace that they were ever there.
