You're excited about a plate holder? I thought it'd be a tripminder or FMS speedo or something. Kinda makes me feel guilty about the ones I've thrown away (Nova Scotia doesn't use front plates)...
Come to think of it, I think I still have the one off my original bumper cover...

The funny thing is Tennessee is not a 2 plate state, but the car had one at one point so I wanted one .

Same here...no front plates,so,I got a "Thunderbird" plate since the replacement header panel has no emblem in it.Once I install a factory header panel (TC) with the emblem,I'll remove the front plate and get something different. I don't want two Birds up front....overkill.

And to be honest I think the car looks better without one BUT, my kids bought me the coupon for the air brushed plate so I'm going to use one :D
BTW I'm kinda thinking E8SZ air brushed on the plate any opinions?

I have one on my cougar cause I found this AWESOME cougar plate to throw on there, and they just look so much better with plate holders than just a plate stuck to the bumper:yuck:
Theres an extra one at the JY I'm gonna grab this weekend too cause these things seem to be really hard to find, i'll grab it before its crushed!

A long time ago I thought about that!
E4SZ is my 1984 Bird
E8WY is anyone's 88 Cougar...
E= decade 1980's
4= year in decade
S= Thunderbird
Z = Ford
W= Cougar
Y= Mercury
Ford has made some changes to part number structure since 1999.
The first digit is the year which now matches the 8th digit of a VIN number.
The second and third digits now indicate the model line.
The 4th digit is the make of the vehicle or assigment of production responsibility.
So my 08 Mustang is a 8R3Z
8=2008
R3= Mustang
Z= Ford
