Flexi Plate Mounting Mistakes That Could Cost You $295+
When mounting your PPQ Prestige Flexi Plates, using double-sided tape might seem like an easy solution. However, this "quick fix" often leads to costly damage to your plates, car paint, and even legal issues. Here’s why tape is a risky choice and why Bracket Buddy™ offers a safer, smarter alternative.
The Risks of Using Tape
1. Damage to Plate Lettering
Double-sided tape can adhere too strongly to the delicate lettering on Flexi Plates. When removed, it often peels off the backing, rendering plates illegible and non-road-legal.
Potential Costs:
- Plate replacement fees: Over $295
- Fines for damaged plates: Up to $240
2. Harm to Your Car’s Paintwork
Strong adhesives can strip paint, leave sticky residue, and trap grime, while cleaning attempts can cause scratches or swirls.
Repair Costs:
- Paint repairs or resprays: Hundreds of dollars
3. Legal & Safety Concerns
Damaged or poorly mounted plates can fall off, posing road hazards and potential liability.
Legal Risks:
- Fines for illegible plates: $240
- Liability for accidents caused by lost plates
