Rear. Gloss Black. At 65 miles an hour (or more) a lot of pressure is exerted on these brackets as there is nothing aerodynamic about a license plate. Thats why we stamp ours from heavy gauge steel. Theyre built tough and can take a 65 mph breeze with gusts up to 100 mph. Dimensionally they are identical to original and are ready to bolt on. We offer them painted shiny black or in high polish stainless steel. Either way you are guaranteed a high-quality, and long lasting product.
