Sto-N-Sho (removable License plate bracket)

[Haggis]

1) Sto-N-Sho

2) Sto-N-Sho (both pieces)

3) Lining up Sto-N-Sho on front bumper cover with center support.

4) Line up base plate on metal bumper all the way against the metal lip. F (short side) towards front of car, B (longer side) against the lip of the bumper.

5) Mark holes of base plate. (I used a silver pen for ease of sight)

6) Drill pilot holes. I started with 1/8" drill bit and worked my way up to 1/4". The metal bumper is hard to drill through easier if you start with a small drill bit and gradually make larger.

7 & 8) Pics of base plate with hardware.

9) Attached base plate with hardware using 10mm wrench and socket .

10) View of attached base plate through bumper cover.

11) Attaching plate holder to base plate.

12 - 15) Views of Sto-n-sho attached to car.

I have no affiliation with BigMike's Performance, the maker of the Sto-N-Sho and receive no compensation . He has made them for the Mustang and we put one on Chris's stang "Ladyhawke" and thought it would be a good idea for the Marauder at car shows, giving it the clean front bumper look. License plate bracket can easily be attached or detached by a spring and pull ring attached to the base mounted to the car's bumper.

If you would like to order one for your Marauder PM me for BigMike's contact info.

Looks good.

So what's the skinny on ordering these? Are you doing a group buy? How much does it cost? Got a link to the web page? Is there a web page? How is the next batch of "Flaming Skull of Death going?

Actually for the price it looks well made.

Sucks that you guys are required to have a front license plate...........

So far Mike has sold two to other members here. I still have not received a price from him, but he was saying about the same price as the Mustang bracket. Am I doing a group buy? No, I have nothing to do with sales of these. Is Mike doing a group buy, I can ask.

Web site I can get for you later with a phone number or you can search the web for BigMike's Performance.

I did Google the site FBM and there is no info on the MM plate holder hence the grilling of Haggybaby :P

Going to need two of these. Looking foward to all the info when it becomes available. :)

[TAKEDOWN]

Got one for Stella and installed it immediately. I recently got hit for no front plates... so I'm loving this product.

[L.Mark]

This is pretty sweet. I have a Hidden Hitch, maybe it's time for a hidden plate...:D

I believe Haggis used the Mustang holder... If I read his post correctly.

" He has made them for the Mustang and we put one on Chris's stang "Ladyhawke" and thought it would be a good idea for the Marauder at car shows, giving it the clean front bumper look."

"So far Mike has sold two to other members here. I still have not received a price from him, but he was saying about the same price as the Mustang bracket"

Leads me to believe the brackets were made specifically for the MM but the builder is still working out a price, most likely similar to the Mustang price. :)

Yes, the bracket for the Marauder was widened so as to not rub the center support the the bumper cover and the rods were lenghtened.

Did not get to call BigMike last night, will this evening after work.

[Haggis]

Check post #1 for ordering info.

[Haggis]

Right now my front tag is 2" from the bumper, BigMike will be reducing this to 1" due to concern from some that it is sticking to far out.

[Haggis]

Alot of us in the north have put up our Marauders for the winter and that means mod time. So take off that fugly license plate holder, fill in the holes and get your bumper repainted. And get ready for next year's track and car show season with a Sho-N-Sto.

[Haggis]

The perfect Valentine's Day Gift!!!

Order the Sto-N-Sho for the Irishman in your life, a great present for St. Patrick's Day.

[pantheroc]

Was pulled over for missing front plate on Fri. :( Just ordered one.

[05GM123]

Anyone else think getting rid of the center bar so that you wouldn't have to detach the license plate holder possible and still look good???
