Hinge didn't work for me, problem is when I came down slow on that corner it was like sitting straight down on the plate. after a day in Llano, Tx with the Hummer X club my plate looked like a rolled up newspaper

Re: Rear license plate bends....
I lost one rear plate out in the desert, and previous to that had to straighten it out several times. Now I just remove the rear plate before offroading its only a couple of screws so no big deal.

Re: Rear license plate bends....
He probably got it at a piano store! 
Try Lowes/Home Depot. I think a brass hinge would really set it off!

My brother had a long piece at his shop.
Home depot should have it also.
I ended up puting a 1 inch piece of velcro on the ends and a 1 inch piece of interlock in the middle.It holds up at 90 mph but will hinge with a little presure.
Make sure theres a small gap on the hinge to fit the velcro /interlock in.
I used a stainless steel hinge .
Its been on for a few months its holding up well

Re: Rear license plate bends....
You put the velcro in between the hinges to hold it so it dont flap in the wind . you mount it with bolts.
link to install
