Front Plate Relocation

[Gunga]

For those of you who by State laws says you must display a front plate.

The below process will lower your plate by about 7 inches, and put a downward angle to it. It will also display the entire chrome grill piece.

1) Remove the license plate.
2) Remove the plastic mounting bracket.
3) Turn it around.
4) Now remount the bracket. Put the Screw-bolts into the now upper holes. The will attach to the body into the previous mounting holes that were for the lower mounting holes. Forget the 3rd screw/bolt. Even without it, the bracket is very tight.
5) Now re-attach the plate to the bracket. Use the original screws to mount to the bottom. You may want to add to extra screws to the top. Sharp screws will just go right into the mounting bracket.

Do you have any pics of what it looks like?

I guess it's a choice between covering the middle chrome strip with the normal position of the plate or covering the bottom of the chrome surround at the bottom of the bumper.

I think I prefer it to be dead center in the middle of the grille with the large chrome ring showing.

Another option is to tape off the center chrome strip with black tape soit appears the plate doesn't obscure any chrome.

Here is a picture. As you can see, the plate no longer covers the crome cross piece.

I just took mine off. And to a suprise, I like the way they mount it, you can't see any of the holes or such, it's kind of nice!
