    Slick is printed tags on the lower valence of an enzo. The above look like eye sores to me.

    Printed anything isn't going to fly for a no front license plate ticket. You now have to a physical examination of the actual state issued plate securely attached to the vehicle if you are cited. They used to accept photographs. No more.

    Or a cheaper version of the same tow eye solution from Formula Dynamics:
    License Ferrari License Plate Holder

    I have one and it works great... BUT... the Fabspeed solution is better (my friend has one on his 360).

    The tow eye brackets partially block the driver's side radiator on the 360 and partially block the driver's side fog light on the 355. (Issues on other models probably exist as well). Plus they just look crappy. Spend the extra cash and just go Fabspeed... or fabricate your own, it isn't that complicated of a bracket.

    Uhm...I only plan on using for about 15 minutes when I use one. Front plates are hideous. (Fabricate my own? Lol. Cracking me up. I don't even do my own nails!)

    I had one in my 911 which I think was perfect but for a f430, it looked odd.

    The problem with most I have seen for the 430 is they block
    Air flow. I think I will fabricate my own up.

    Same as the Formula Dynamics one, but at an even better price. Good find!
    Although, I stated the reasons above why I'll be swapping mine out for a better solution.

    Of course, complete with a flame paint job.

    If you've got some old jeans and long sleeve shirts that should have already been donated to salvation army, that would work.

    Jimpo is probably right, on your way down here, stop by salvation army and pop some tags! :D

    Can you Post a pic when you install it? It's $250 for a ticket if pulled over.

    I ordered one in December 2013 from Formula Dynamics out of Las Vegas. When it arrived I noticed that the provided stud that screws into the tow hook eye on my 1986 Testarossa was too large in diameter. I shipped it back along with my tow hook. They manufactured a smaller diameter stud that matches my tow hook diameter and threads. They now offer a unique solution for the early model high mounted mirror Testarossas's. If you have an early car be aware that our tow hooks are a different size than the 512TR and M.

    I really like the removable front license plate adapter. It holds the plate in the center of the car just high enough that it does not scrape the ground and not high enough that it blocks my grill and Cavalino Rapante that I added.

    $250? There is no fine. It's a fix it ticket. You have to show up to the issuing courthouse, have the plate inspected by an officer/constable and pay a $10 administrative fee.

    After looking at the mount last night, I'll need to send mine back as well.

    As of a couple months ago, there now is a $200 fine associated with no front plate. There is a thread on this forum talking about it. Hence, the decision/rush to put a front plate on here in Tx. But from the cars displayed at the recent C&C in Austin, it appears many are taking their chances...
