Quick-Release License Plate Holder

For a long time, I've been looking for a quick-release license plate holder for rallies and car shows. I thought about using the clip-on type, but I saw another car with one and there was damage to the grille where it clipped on. I tried the type that screws into the tow hook receptacle, but it looked very aftermarket and I never used it.

After some research, I found a plate holder on Amazon called Sto-N-Sho, but it was not compatible with my car. I gave the company a call, and to my delight, the owner (Big Mike) was willing to work with me to design a custom plate holder. After a series of calls and emails, I sent him an architectural drawing of my front spoiler layout, and he custom fabricated a Sto-N-Sho for my Mondial T.

The all-aluminum, welded construction is nothing like I've ever seen. When installed, there is no rattling or vibration, and it looks stock, just like Ferrari would have made it. When I pull up to a car show, it takes only a second to pull the spring-loaded pin, slip it out, and the mounting hardware is not visible.

I rarely endorsed anything, and I have no affiliation with Big Mike or Sto-N-Sho, but I highly recommend this if your state requires a front license plate. The website is bigmikesperformanceparts.com

The mounting bracket adds 3/8" to the front spoiler; total of 7/8" with the license plate frame attached.

90% of the time, I drive with no plate on the front, so it's a minimal risk of scraping it on the ground.

 

Since this was a custom made piece, the price may vary for future orders. Generally they sell for about $100.
