Default RE: Front License Plate

Not a problem....we used 2 - 12" tie straps...or what other people may refer to as black plastic zip strips. We had to drill 2 additional holes in the back of the actual license plate bracket about 3/4" down from each of the top holes to be able to bring the strap back through to connect the ends. We then put the smaller end of the zip strip through the top hole of the bracket, because the bigger end won't fit through...you then have to weave the strip through the actual grill...pull it through the bottom hole and attach it to the other end, then tighten it. Note, we made sure to tighten it to were the ends were in the hole indentation so you can slide the plate up into the bracket without them interfering. Another note to make it a little easier...it's hard to get your fingers in the bottom grill to weave the zip strip...we ended up tieing a piece of string to the end of the strip to pull it back through. Once we got both sides through...we pulled both sides as tight as possible with the ends in the hole indentation...cut the extra strip off...and it doesn't move a bit! I'm pretty anal...so I also took some 3M weather strip tape that is back and foam....put it around the bottom part in the center were it meets the bottom spoiler to insure no rubbing would happen.

Hopefully I explained this ok...it's kind of hard to explain....let me know if you need any other info!
