Re: License plate bracket - where to find?
I could easily make some of these if need be. There are a few issues though:
It wouldn't be identical to the original GM part. (It would still look the part though.) I'm not sure how much it would cost to make. I don't know how much it would cost to ship one overseas. |

One of our Wazoo guys had it 3D printed.

Re: License plate bracket - where to find?
I took the DIY approach. For the cut-to-size aluminum sheet, primer, paint, and grommets, the cost was less than $50. I didn't sand between the coats of primer/paint in order to leave a plastic-like texture. I am very happy with the results.

Re: License plate bracket - where to find?
That looks really good! That would be the way to go for somebody who wants it to look proper without spending gobs of money.

Re: License plate bracket - where to find?
This is on my "low priority" needs list as well. My current one has a crack, so would definitely buy a new one if it was available.

Re: License plate bracket - where to find?
If it's been 3D printed in the past, perhaps someone still has the CAD file?
Black Red '90, That looks surprisingly good.

Thank You! It's certainly not an OE replica piece, but I don't think a casual observer would think it looks wrong on the ZR-1. |

Re: License plate bracket - where to find?
Well, it definitely doesn't look great without one. So those in need, sign up for Phil's project.
