roush front bumper license

[mustangflanagan]

Any ideas how to mount a license plate on a roush front bumper 07-09

mustangflanagan,

You can call (or send an e-mail message to) Craig at Craig's Custom Mustang Brackets. No screw holes in the bumper, just a nice sandwich clamp on the bottom section of the bumper.

ccmustangbrackets.com is his site.

HTH,

Chris

The prob with tha though is it will block the intercooler

Some people here have picked up some really high powered magnets online. They mount one part of the magnet on the inside of the bumper and the other secured on the backside of the license plate with some foam in between.

Just an idea.

The prob is the roush front goes to a angle like a V at the center

For the longest time I had mine held on with two three inch strips of Velcro. You can bend the plate to match the bumper. I ran it to 130+ several times and never had an issue. Down side is no trim, just the plate. I don't have it on at all now though. I just Carry it next to the pass seat and tell the officer I am working on the paint since there is a spot right there where I burnt through the clear while buffing it. Ive only had it happen once though.

Its not pretty without the trim but it worked for me.

You could always zip tie to the grill...

Roush wouldn't do that cause front license plates are for the gheys....

Damn thing is supposedly not compatible with roush body kits

 

[ROUSH06GA]

Is not, had to work on it to make it fit. I will send you pics when it stops raining here.

mustangflanagan,

Craig's bracket is adjustable, front to back, so it can be long enough to sit in front of the "point". The bracket puts the plate in almost the same location as it would be if you drilled the two holes on the factory bumper.

I'll try to snap some pics for you. It will be my tech challenge of the day, lol.

Better late than never!

Here are some pics that show the bracket in (normal), pulled out (1" further out than normal), and a side view in the normal position. Bumper is a 2012 and it has a slight point to it. Don't know how it compares to the Roush bumper.

mustangflanagan,

Ruh-roh. Had the same issue with my old car ('98 GT) so I feel your pain.

"Not supported" or "Not ready" issues? 'Not ready' can be cured with a full driving cycle. The evap system has particular ambient conditions so it takes a long time to pass the "I'm OK" test. I can tell you that the 'not supported' issue is definitely tune related (said Capt. Obvious). Some tunes turn off or reduce the monitoring frequency to let the computer do more important things (like keeping track of things at high RPM) and this often results in a 'not supported' report during the plug-in test. Your tuner should be aware of this and probably has a work-around.

GL with getting the emissions test fixed. FWIW, you may want to start a new thread so more people will take a look (everybody is interested in passing the emissions test and learning what had/has to be done to do it).
