Has anyone purchased and installed this?

May be a great alternative from drilling holes or 3M tape.

The only issue I have with the OP's quick bandit plate and the SnapPlate is how easily they could come off. No tools required as far as I can tell, which is good and bad, although I am not sure why you'd need to remove the front plate easily, car wash? Since it can be removed easily, I wonder if it would ever be stolen? Nobody would want your license plate, but an easy way to get a $100+ holder for free. At least the other option I listed requires some work with tools to secure, not so quick and easy to remove. May be I am being too cynical, but easy to put on/take off could mean easy to be stolen. I guess you would only know that if you were familiar with these plate holders, and everybody else would not even think twice about it...

SnapPlate has an optional screw you can use to lock it in position... not sure about the Bandit

Quick Bandit also has a screw to prevent easy removal. The Quick Bandit feels really well built and am really happy with it.

They now have a V3...

Removed the Quick Bandit for some cleaning yesterday. We use the optional locking screw. With the supplied Allen key, it takes about 30 seconds to remove/replace. If you don't use it, and it's plenty secure without, it's a one second job. Great product, no affiliation.

I bought the 1975 creations mount. I haven’t received it yet.

Quick Bandit comes with a special tool to lock it in place...not a normal hex Allen key

Bandit has robbed your money with that price. I use cheap, simple & stainless steel on ebay: I have that on my M3 for 2 yrs and will have that on MY, too.

Just curious if the quick bandit or the snapplate is better? They both serve similar purpose and priced around the same.

I ordered the snap plate, but decided on the quick bandit before my plates even arrived. So now I have an unused snap plate...

My take is quick bandit is better for leaving it in place long-term, snap plate is for those that will only put it on for longer trips out of their “safe home area” where they don’t think they’ll get pulled over for not having the front plate affixed.

So given these two videos:

SnapPlate:

The SnapPlate just seems much more straightforward to me.

 

[HeyEph]

What about the regular Bandit, if you have no need to remove it? Good choice?

 

[mark95476]

I've got the Quick Bandit. It was shipped the afternoon that I ordered.

I never tried the SnapPlate. I'm sure it's good, however, I didn't particularly like the idea of using the fins as support.

Is there a gap between the plate and the body or is it right up against it?

It looks right up against it -- does it seem like to scratch the fascia?

Quick Bandit Version 2 seems better than SnapPlate as it puts pressure at the top & bottom as opposed to SnapPlate is holding the thin grille.
