As per the show and go license plate holder, did you have problems mounting it with the high sport lip? seems as if the lip would make it harder to install. Im planning on doing the same thing to my monte so any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks!

Thanks a lot guys glad you like it and yea witht he angle of our lip kits its makes it a little harder to mount just have to keep test fitting to make it come out enough at a 90 degree angle then once it tucks under it still will have little bit of the corner underneath vuisible due to the angle I could take some pics of the underside its still easy to mount tho and I made a little steel clip to hold it tight against the front bumper while driving no rattle

Can you take a pic of the steel clip you made? I'm having a problem with the plate not staying upright when I'm driving- I guess it's due to the force. I need to find a fix for it.

I didn't have a problem mounting it to my 05 Monte's front lip but I had a heck of a time mounting it on my Stang.

Hey guys so finally got it all done got my grille in the mail mounted it on let me know what you guys think I'm always one for bein original give some opinions I remounted the knightcrest back over the grille I personally love it couldn't lose it off the front.



And as for the show and go plate clip as you can see I also have a metal plate frame so I drilled a hole through my frame, plate, and the show and go mount a Inch long screw with a wingnut and to make the clip I used triple strength glavanized steel ribbon it may look thin but this stuff is strong and its perfect angle I don't scratch my paint at all and it holds it very tight against the car no movement at all thanks guys!

I love the look of the upper and lower grill.. The licence plate I'm not to fond of. I don't run one (I live in Wisconsin and should run one, my time is ticking of coarse). But would look a ton better with a "Stow a way" plate holder. It comes in either Remote Control or manual. The remote one on eBay goes from $90-$110, the manual one is much cheaper.. Nice thing is it stows away when you are parked, and comes out when you are driving so you don't get a ticket. I am getting one for the front as well as the rear.. I'll post pics as soon as I get them from the bay.. All n all.. Love the look.. (except plate as explained). Mjclemm...
