Where did you get your layback license plate bracket? I've been looking for a black curved one just like that. Thanks....

Dave,
That's what I figured he did, but just wanted to be sure before I pull the trigger on the chrome one! LOL The stock one just sticks up WAY too much for my taste. By the way, how much was the chrome one?

Thanks...

You get going fast enough with the stock license, the front wheel comes off the ground due to all the downforce


Not sure on the price on the stock one. The dealer was doing me a favor.

That's funny, and I agree!! I really want to get the layback one. I'd probably get better gas mileage when I do. LOL

Thanks for the info, though...

Josh, for a quick fix just use original bracket, but buy a smaller plate that will fit inside layback bracket, and for now just fix it to original bracket to get back some street cred, as i did.lol
