Best laid plans....Ugh.
Powder coating is taking an extra day on us, so tomorrow we should be picking them up, posting finished photos and shipping out any preorders!

Plate mounts are in and pre-orders are shipping out today.
These are now in stock for immediate shipping.
Few things to point out:
These add only .100" of reduced ground clearance.
They tuck the plate in as close to the car as possible so as to not increase the chance of bumping a curb.
They dont cause any issues with the front parking sensors.
Plate mounting screws included. You'll reuse the undertray bolts to mount them up.

*Apologies for those receiving the first ones our appropriately sized boxes didnt arrive in time so in effort to get them out to you asap we compromised and got them into our decat boxes for todays shipments.

Good design/product looks like. Its a shame Lotus didnt think of such a simple solution and wants people to drill into their bumper in the first place. If I was unfortunate to live in front plate state this is what I would want.

If we have it in stock we get it sent out same day if the order comes in before Fedex arrives.
Thanks again!

I can't help but hear Jim Carry's voice, "Do I have something in my teeth?"
(I think it's the wide angle photo to blame...).

Really nice job, Greg, and I'll be ordering mine this week!

For those considering, there are additional photos on his site showing the attachment method.

Ordered my "starter kit":
Plate holder
Carpet buttons
3rd car delete+gasket

Thanks again for expediting the solutions!

I’ve searched but (surprisingly) can’t find a thread for this. Has anybody seen a USA spec front license plate mount on the Emira? Do they drill into the bumper or not? I’m wondering if a tow eye plate mount would be a decent alternative (see below). Looks like it would probably block one of the forward parking sensors. It would look pretty terrible but could be easily removed and shouldn’t damage the car. If I missed a previous thread please point me there.

I never put a front plate on my Evora. Once I got pulled over for speeding in upstate NY, where towns are funded by tickets given to out-of-towners. I was polite to the officer, and so he gave me a ticket for the missing plate rather than for speeding - no points on my license, and he got his fine. Win-win.

Greg, do you think this will work with Aerie's splitter?

Just attached mine.. nice small plate. It was placed off centre by the dealer :s

What a beauty when its clean! Took me over 2hrs to detail it.

the oem mount is screwed into the front bumper. there is a company called greg's race parts that makes a bracket that screws in under the bumper using existing bolts, so you dont have to drill into the body work.

Hi all. I am looking at Greg’s license plate mount and the photo from underneath. Does the bracket only attach to those two bolts? Given the length of the bracket, and the bolts being at the very end, it would seem like a lot of strain on those bolts. If you are using this bracket, what are your thoughts on this, please?
