Default Contemporary Classic's?
Anybody got one? I'm working on one and would like info about the license plate on the back. Does not fit under the light and above the trunk handle. Idea's on alternate locations?
No hoops just over-riders for bumpers.

Euro spec cars had narrow plate mount. You can either buy a bracket that puts it out about 2" and over the trunk latch or trim it carefully as I did.

Most Contemporary Cobra's had the tag mounted to the rear bumper.
Sorry I don't know how to attach photo, but there is one in my gallery.

They have different spacings between the plate light and boot handle on different CCX's. Careful trimming has been illustrated already.

Has anyone used the Finish Line part? Does it actually clear the trunk handle?

I wouldn't want the trunk handle behind the plate if I actually wanted to use it.........
