Ordered mine. Took 5 minutes to install.
My dealer Ray Catena didn't want to fit the factory bracket "carry a PBA card" was a proposed solution. I've recommended the Sto and Sho bracket to the dealer: they should be standard issue.
Love the fact that I can pop it off and not look at it when the car is parked at home.

 

Plus...it looks great on the car!

 

don't listen to buick, he gets a kickback for every sale it's definitely the "lesser of two evils" (the other evil being drilling the grill beam or the tow hook solution)

 

LOL...I wish! If you gotta have a plate,this IS the best solution and location and with the way it tilts...I must say it does look good on there.

 

Ordered mine on Monday, arrived on Wednesday with a check for $9 even though I didn't request one. I can't believe how small and unobtrusive it is. You can tell it's well thought out and well made. Buick....you done good!!!! Every owner living in a front plate state should get this solution.

 

I think most owners in a front plate state and monitoring this forum must be ordering them. He's nearly sold out of his first run of 100, and ordered another batch.

 

Wait...what? Where's my damn residual check?

 

Just got around to installing mine (after I got a fixit ticket in SF). Love it!

 

I came out of a 7-11 after grabbing some Iced Tea, and a local Police Officer was looking at my car. (no front plate...) As I approached he walked away, smiled at me, and got into his car.

I'm so glad some police are cool about no front plates!

 

I found this old thread on ShonGo bracket. I just ordered one for my car. Cost is $89 now with free shipping if mailed. The "jagforum" discount coupon code still works for a $9 discount. Has anyone seen an automated version of this for an f type where it retracts and projects via electric or battery?

 

Sto-n-Sho is an exceptionally, high-quality product.

The retractable product you refer to won't work on the F-Type because there's no suitable mounting location, because of the shape of the nose, and the location of the lower splitter.

 

+1 on both counts. Accommodates all plate sizes.

 

It's a fantastic product, simple, effective and sturdy. It's worth every penny.

Got me one too! Didn't know about the discount code. Oh well.

 

Let's put it this way, if I had to replace it and found it had doubled in price, I'd purchase it again without even thinking about it. It's that good and the perfect solution for the F-Type.

 

One of the reasons I reposted, as I found the code info on this thread, and although it had been months sInce last post, it still worked. Hopefully others can save the $9 and put that towards some new valve stem caps or a Starbucks for two. Thanks again to previous forum contributors, pay it forward!

 

Big Mike not only makes a great product but he's a stand up guy as well...

Just ordered one for my F-Type.
This is what I was looking for to address the front license plate placement issue.

 

You will not be unhappy whatsoever! Good Luck.
