If you live where a front license plate is required there are a few options (1) "Don't mount at ALL" (2) Some very nice low brackets (3) Drill holes and mount factory bracket.

Seeing how the SSr is my daily driver and I didn't want to drill holes and "Don't Mount" were not options and I was going to go with the low bracket. While doing my research I came up with another option, it's a product called Retract-A-Plate which allows you to lower/raise plate at will. I installed and am very happy with results.


I tried to document the install process and created a HOW-TO for other that may be interested in installing.

This may not be everybodys "CUP OF TEA" but it will give others another option.

Thanks, Black Magic

Great job on the instructions. I'd looked at the Retract-a-plate, but thought it was a bit much of an installation, and I thought I'd have to cut the air dam - looks like that stays intact.

So, with their sparse instructions, and your very detailed information, I'm ready to tackle it later this spring.

Thanks, again.

Note to Buffy - this is definitely one for the Tips and Tricks lock - in.

Is this

Is this going to block air to the rad? I mounted mine at same hight but back of the little black air dam under the rad. I mounted it off two studs so it will swing back on steap driveways.
