- Tara gets pulled over for having no front license plate and then installs the Sto N Sho removable license plate bracket. This mount does not damage the front bumper and has a quick release latch so that the plate can be removed quickly for photoshoots or car shows.
Sto N Sho bracket: Model no. SNS67 (Upper mount) - not advertised for my 2011 M3 but fit fine!

Remove the plate bracket before going to a car wash or racetrack!

Sometimes you learn from your mistakes, but you did a great job explaining the step by step instructions
Thanks!
Woow....I did not know that such a plate bracket existed. thanks for the tip. and as always very well explained.
Thanx Tara 🙋🏽♂️👍🏼🙏🏼😘
Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much, TVTara. I know sooner or later I am going to get a ticket here in VA for not having a front license plate on my 2009 E92 M3. I will definitely get the STO N SHO.
Yeah, it’s awesome. I still love mine years later!
Looks really nice Tara!
Thanks!
Nicely done looks good 😌.Hopefully when u go to court they will drop it because the issue has been corrected . Enjoy your day & keep the content coming 😉 Like smashed as always 👍🏽
I don’t go to court. I just pay the ticket. And thanks!
Looks so good!
The license plate doesn't look too bad either 😂❤️
Ha!
HAHAHA! good one.
i was just looking for something like this, big up!
Awesome!
Good job! I’ve never seen these. Thanks
You’re welcome!
I cant even remove my license plate in canada but your soo pretty so i still tuned in 😍
I’m in Canada too! Haha!
Wow so gorgeous and more plans for the car and keep the vids coming
Thank you!
Had no idea this was even available! I will be doing
this ASAP!! thanks Tara! Keep ‘em coming!
Yeah it’s really cool! I love it!
Just subbed you my front plate just felt due to a windy day and im going to install a frame for the first time it was useful the tutorial
Cool thanks!
Looks great. Hardly noticeable when plate removed. Nice install.
Thanks!
Hi Tara happy to see you love your M3 white is easy to keep clean good job with the plate aussieland is watching
Glen.
Thank you!
Looks so good!
Thank you!
Never seen this before, cool video
Thanks!
Salute! Great job.
Thanks!
Didn't know such thing existed. Ty!
You’re welcome! :)
Hey, haven’t seen your channel in a while. Wanted to let you know that were right about owning a Bmw while in college. You told me not to in the comment section of your videos and I went ahead and did it anyway. Turns out I ran into some heavy repair costs 😓. Got myself a 2017 Lexus IS300... god I miss the power though 😭
Aw yeah, they are fun but better after college when you have a good job. I would totally get a Lexus if I need something reliable though. Just focus on school! 👍
Hi Tara! I came across you're video looking for options for installing front plate w/o drilling holes after getting a ticket 😒 Great video, thank you! What's your feedback on driving over speeds of 70mph and higher (like on a highway)? Do you hear any rattling or shaking and is it sturdy? My concern is because I do a lot state to state travel with all kinds of weather and I want to make sure it's sturdy. I appreciate you reply in advance 😊 Thanks again
It is absolutely safe at fast speeds. No rattling.
That's awesome TV Tara
Thanks!
I guess for the BMW, the one that you have works well but for the majority of the cars, the Show N Go retractable license plate holder works good too
Yeah that one is cool too!
Thank you for the video Tara this is a very cool product I still hate having to pay $85 to avoid an $85 ticket I'd rather register my vehicle in a state that only requires rear license plates before you know it the nanny state will have us mounting license plates on each side of the vehicle they do for tractor trailers
Haha!
Nice car ..looks clean , nice to see a woman installing her parts 💪🏼👍🏼 keep it up !! ...was thinking about getting some copper 20”s for my F32
Thanks!
Hello great video where did you find that bracket?
Nice Tara!
Thanks!
Drilling into your BMW gave me a [momentary] heart attack... won’t lie. But the end result was great! Also have an Alpine White BMW 330i (2020).
I’m currently looking for ways to install a front mount without having to drill.
I avoided drilling for over a year and regret waiting!
Another nice video, Tara! Nice job. Just wondering if you had thought about using the tow hook so that you would not need to drill.
I tried it and didn’t like how it was off center. And the good quality ones were a pain to remove. I need to be able to remove it quickly.
@@TVTaraPlatypus quick release
Watched the video, really liked the product but I can't trust adhesive to hold my plate (I refuse to drill a hole). So USmillworks tow plate was the way to go for me. Its pricey but its super sturdy.
For two years I also didn’t want to drill a hole but I’m so glad I finally did as you can’t even see it. I just didn’t like the way tow hook brackets make the front of the car not symmetrical.
Watching you drill that hole made me cry
Haha I know. It took me about a year to finally accept it was the best solution for me. No regrets! I still love it!
Did the plate rattle any? It looks pretty secure, but was concerned about the noise if it’s not completely flush
Nope, no rattle and very secure.
What’s the name of the product and where do you get it and price thanks I have a BMW Too don’t want to drill holes either 😊
Wow, sorry to hear about the ticket, I live in B.C. as well it's really dependent on the cop. TBH haven't had one on my car for years even passed by cops etc. I know in B.C. we are suppose to but in provinces like Alberta and Quebec they don't which makes no sense to me why the B.C. government require two. Did they give you a warning?. I do know VPD is a lot harsher but honestly all depends on the police officer. Great video as well way better than putting tow hooks in my opinion stay safe.....👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
No that’s ticket I showed in the video cost over $100. Since then I received a warning in a different city though. Yes it makes no sense that one province away, it’s not required.
@@TVTara The issue I had before on another car was my license plate covers. But honestly nothing else I even have a sun visor tint on my front windshield which is 10-12 inches the Standard is 8 inches I believe. I haven't had any issues. Knock on wood hope it stays that way. But as I said VPD is harsh. RCMP is cool New Westminister PD even Delta. But something about VPD I swear they just want bicycles on the road...Well anyway take care and thanks for replying may see you at a meet some day when life is somewhat back to normal.....👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
Do you need to drill? Is the double-sided tape strong enough to hold everything without the screw?
They sell some models that don’t need drilling. For mine, they advised me I really should drill it. I’m glad I did, as it was super easy and the hole is not even visible so I don’t feel like I “damaged” the car.
@@TVTara Thanks for the response. What does the screw go into? Is it thin sheet metal or something solid?
It wasn’t metal but a thick plastic, I think.
@@TVTara ok, thanks for the helpful info
Great job now where did you buy the bracket?
Thanks! XX😊
The website is in the description or Google Sto N Sho
Sadly I got pulled over for not running a front license plate also. I went ahead and ordered a front tow hook license plate bracket and after it’s been on the car for a while it’s really grown on me.
I just didn’t want to drill into my cars bumper because I take it to car shoes often and love the clean look
👏👏👏 🤗

Hi Tara, where did you get that and how do you order it, I meant the name of the product? Thanks
The link is in the video description. Called Sto n Sho.
@@TVTara 🙏
Is that adhesive strong enough by itself? I’m really not trying to drill any holes in my body
I know people who didn’t drill. The company really advised me to. Honestly I’m glad I did and I wish I did it sooner. You can’t see the hole at all and it’s tiny but the plate is so stable.
@@TVTara well the reason I don’t want to drill is cause it’s not good at all for the body and when you do rust usually starts immediately
Do you live in Ontario? In Quebec, we have no front license plates. They make the cars look ugly.
i pause at 2:56 to finish. thank you.
What’s the brand of your removable plate bracket? Thanks
Sto n Sho (it’s right in the title 😉)
Which did u order for your e92 m3? The m4 version?
The model number should be in the video info.
What was the brand of that bracket please! Same issues in TX😢
It’s in the title. Sto N Show
I have an 07 335i without front license plate now for 7 years and I've never gotten stop for that. I'm in Cali so I don't know if that matters since I don't know where you live. I guess it depends on the cop.
Ah, you’re lucky. Yeah, Cali isn’t so strict. I’m in British Columbia where it’s totally mandatory.
Where can I get this? I need it for my car
Just Google Sto n Show if you don’t see the link in my description.
Nice! Drilling into the car will make me nervous tho
It deterred me for a long time but I wish I did it earlier. The hole is tiny and not visible.
I can't find the product nor the link :(
Can you help me please, thank you
Just Google Sto n Sho
@@TVTara I found it, thank you!!?
Is there a way to lock it? Seems like it makes it easy to steal the license plate.
No, but someone would have to know how it works to pull it out. I’ve had mine on for a long time now with no issues.
Does anyone experience how it behaves at high speed?
It’s fine. No rattling.
❤️❤️❤️
😊
You could first apply the bracket then drill the hole so you don't have to line up the hole to the one drilled I'm bumper ,just a thought
Ok
Can you get the automatic one with a button
I didn’t feel like doing the hardwiring that it requires so I’m happy with this. Plus it’s cheaper.
TVTara true true cheaper is better I just feel for convenience it’s pretty cool 😎 but I still think your amazing
do you need to drill, or can I just use the double sided tape
I know some have been ok with double sided tape but it’s not recommended.
@@TVTara ill probably drill underneath the bottom of the bumper then and mount it all the way at the bottom, I feel like the drill and holder will be noticed under the lip on the mid bumper. Thanks for the reply!
If your car is low though, it might scrape off. That was my concern.
@@TVTara im planning on putting it on my X3 so thats not a problem haha, thanks!
I would go with non-drill hole removable license plate holder - they clip into the grill.
Doesn’t sound like you can remove it quickly though. This one takes a second only.
Where to order your license bracket?
Stonsho.com
That is a great device, however, there would be no difference in not having a front plate installed vs having the sto n sho if the plate isn't on at the time you're pulled over??? At which point would you have the sto n sho off the car and feel confident that you would not be spotted by law enforcement to stop you for not having your license plate displayed?
You are correct. They may let me go with a warning but yes I would result in a ticket. I do have my plate on when I’m driving around now.
Does it rattle at all and where can I get it? Nice
Nope doesn’t rattle. It’s Stonshow.com I think
@@TVTara liked. And sub'd
I'm glad my state does not required a front license plate. The police could have giving you a warning ticket instead of $109.
Lucky you!
Love how she tenderly cleaned to hole.., sorry the opening, you know what I mean…
😐
Looking beautiful (staring at m3)
It says thank you, haha
Cool video. I'm just confused about one thing, why would you need to be able to take off your plates in like a second? Why not leave it on the car? And doesn't it make it easy for anyone to just walk up and unclip them and take them? SO confused LMAO !
I do a lot of photoshoots and remove it for privacy reasons. And so far no one has stolen it haha!
Yeah but what about rear plate ?????
It’s just mounted normally.
In which state was this ticket issued?
I’m in Vancouver, British Columbia.
TVTara thanks! Do you have any recommendations for a removable front license plate bracket for a 2008 E93? Sto and Show doesn’t make one
Take a look if you’re front bumper looks like mine. Their website said it didn’t make it for our cars but I looked at lots of pictures and measures it and insisted to them that it will fit when they said it wasn’t for my car. It’s model sns67.
*your
I really don’t know why they don’t advertise it for the 2007-2013 e92 and e93. It’s obviously fits.
North America plates are so ugly. I wish we could use the euro style in the front at least.
Great video though!!
Just don’t put it on 🤫
Just try a tow hook mount so no drilling
I don’t like the off center look
HOW MUCH WAS THE TICKET? ASKING FOR A FRIEND
Why blur the plate for online.. when people see your plate way more on the street than online
Because people on the street don’t know who I am. I have online stalkers. Those people can find out where I live through my plate if they tried hard enough.
You should've gotten the tow hook license plate holder. no drilling involved.
I tried one and didn’t like it. I don’t like it off to one side.
@@TVTara Gotcha. I just dont like drilling into the bumper like that. I'm glad I live in a state that doesnt require front plates.
I don’t know why I wish they can fix this
Who can fix what?
lmao I just got a ticket today and went online to look for a no-drill solution..
Haha I can’t even tell you how much better it feels to pass a cop now and have a plate on! Haha!
@@TVTara Just unfortunate for me as caught a red light. He was parked on the side of the road just up ahead so he had all day to look. I knew he was going to pull me over because as I waited on the light I could see his brake lights come on and the blip of the reverse light. It's a fix-it ticket + $10 fine. But still I gotta spend some money on a bracket.
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏bless u
😊
Wait what.....you still drilled the bumper...🤦♂️
Yeah but under not the front so I can still remove it and it looks clean.
@@TVTara ya I get the clean part. But what what don't like is. You still drilling the bumper which I want to avoid entirely!!!
Other people have installed it with double sided tape but I chose not to.
Wow she is beautiful 😍. Like if you agree
Me? Aw thanks! ☺️
Your simgle ??? ❤
One front bumper hole.
A little hidden one
I can't believe that you know how to use tools, regardless good job.
Uh this was the easiest diy. You should watch some of the harder things I’ve done! Haha
That's pretty simple and make the life of the theft so much easier
Nah. No one has stolen it and I’ve had it for a long time now.
@@TVTara I'm not trying to be rude , thank you for the video .
Is just some places are sketchy 😂
i wanna mount your plate...so u don't get anymore tickets....
show and stow
Your cute take a pic of the plate installed and go appeal the ticket in court showing the judge it was corrected and they''ll drop the ticket.
Nah, here any court dispute is public and I don’t want that.
I got something I’d like to install..🤪
😂
This exactly 😂😁
😳
TVTara 🌭💦
Yea my numberplate bracket😐
Just becareful with license plate thieves.
Yeah ☹️
So you saved on coffee to offer your neighbor for helping you fixing your license plate, now you can even fix license plates in the neighborhood and get free coffee “
Ha! (Well, actually I don’t even drink coffee)
Your so rn amazing my lady
She Super cute
Thanks ☺️
@@TVTara No thank you,as Im in dire need to installed a license plate on the front of my EClass your video was very helpful thank you very much.
That’s so expensive!
Cheaper than getting more tickets! Worth it for me since I remove my plate a lot.
@@TVTara i didn’t think you’d reply.😂 thanks for the video, i’m buying one.
I like it, but....$110?! That's a hard NO.
Haha, it’s cheaper than another ticket! Worth it to me!
Dam u hella beautiful
Aw, thank you so much! ☺️
Invite a neighbor and offer him a cup of tea! That's racist ! Tell the cop to watch your videos!
Haha sexist not racist. He was actually British born, I believe. He had a British accent.
TVTara ok then If he’s British.
It's not really sexist, the guy was just being friendly after giving bad news (i.e. a fine). He pulled over a pretty asian woman driving a BMW convertible without a front plate; it would be more likely than not that she wasn't into turning wrenches.
For instance, a few months ago my old man helped his Chinese neighbor reverse her manual hatchback that was stuck against the garage wall; once he'd moved it she realised that when it jumped forward, it stalled and she couldn't make it move again because the car wasn't actually running. That's the kind of person the cop would encounter on a daily basis, cut him some slack lol.
Oh I know he had only good intentions when he said it.
Insulting that the cop suggested you would need a friend to help install the plate, presumably because you are a woman. But clearly you are driving an enthusiast vehicle!
Haha yup!
Pointless
How so? It comes off quick for photoshoots.
@@TVTara you still drilling a whole on your car
Ya im not fucking drilling into my bumper
