Title: '88 Front Licence Plate Bracket Post by: Madscanner on November 27, 2009, 06:30:04 am Hi Folks
I'm after a front licence place bracket for my '88 Formula (I understand that they are different to all the others). If anyone has a spare one, I'll be in Ottawa for a couple of weeks next month. Contact me by PM, please. Ciao! Title: Re: '88 Front Licence Plate Bracket Post by: dguy on November 27, 2009, 10:59:34 am Good luck. For what it's worth you can also find that licence plate bracket on cars from '87 with the same nose. That doesn't help the availability though. ::) :)
We have that fascia on one of our cars, and I cobbled up a plate mount using an acrylic licence plate cover, a few plastic rivets, and a couple of hings. It currently hangs from the under side of the nose where the original plate mount would have been. I don't care for the appearance of it, but it earns less attention from the police than a lack of front plate does, and having it hinged gives the fascia some relief from un-dodgeable obstacles.

Seems to be just a rectangular area, but has a slight outward bow to it.
I don't see why any GM (or likely other make) plate holder would not work. You could either slightly bend the plate to fit the fascia, or add a small spacer piece at the back. Should be easy to whip something up.
