The Bandit vs Slipstream Bracket

[ohsnapclick]

Hi All,

I’ve read through a lot of the previous discussions on the whole “front license plate solution”..just wanted to hear it out on these two top runners IMO:

The Bandit (v2.0)

Slipstream
ThatGrin.com | Slipstream Bracket No Drilling Front License Plate Mounting Solution for Tesla Model 3

Any feedback on those who have either? Thanks!

Not an owner, but also curious if anyone with these has been backed into with it on. The factory bracket looks like it would take a minor bump without hurting anything, but these look like they would break the grille where they attach.

I have the Bandit. Works great. No one has backed into it yet and I am careful about leaving room for the car in front and back of me. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

I have the Slipstream. Also works great. Easy to install and remove. Haven't been backed into yet.

We have the oem one that came with the car. Asked Tesla not to install it. Our detailer installed it on top of the paint protection film. It uses double stick tape. No screws to attach it to the bumper. Looks much cleaner than either of those two in my opinion.

Hey that does look great! First time anyone posted a photo of using the original plate offered by Tesla, that I know of. Thanks for sharing, helpful information.

Bandit for me as well. Bought a brand new on Craigslist for $50 as the lister no longer had his Model 3. I like it because you can clean behind the bracket.

Does that block any air flow ?

Your welcome. Seems like an obvious choice, especially with paint protection film under it.

+1 for the stock plate
I thought long and hard, but double sided tape won't hurt the car, and I don't need to worry about something hitting it and breaking something.

I think the whole thing is overrated.

That said, it sucks that many of us have to use a front plate, but I've been pulled over before going without. I'm not going to give the police a reason to pull me over.

Thanks for starting this thread and pre-researching exactly what I was looking for - I'm going with the Bandit. There is also "the law" from evannex which is what I put on my MS, but since it doesn't have autopilot hardware, that was an easier decision.

No prob! I’m going with The Bandit as well. There’s a nice rebate upon delivery confirmation. Happy Holidays!

Isn’t that rebate only if you use his referral link to order a M3?

Just so nobody gets confused, The Law plate holder works just fine with EAP hardware. I have it on my 3 and I'm very happy with it.

Co-worker hit something in his garage with the bandit - cracked the grill below = $1125 mistake - Tesla mobile repair at his house.

My friend bought bandit & I bought that $6.99-he's sure he wasted lots of money. Sometimes out of excitement we pay a lot for nothing.

Over $100 for a license plate frame!!! That's ridiculous! What's the problem using the one that came with the car?
