Jdm license plate re-located

[Daniel Peden]

Can any one explain the best way to install one on the FB2

 

[Nix]

You want to relocate your current plate or you have a non-standard plate you need to mount?

 

[Daniel Peden]

I would like to relocate it to one to the driver side or at least I was trying to

Does it just require drilling holes in the bumper cover or do I need to go all the way through the bumper it self

 

[tsumaku]

take off the entire license plate frame.
flip it around
use zip ties in the two holes of the part that sticks out and tie it to the bar in your bumper where ever youd like it

 

[PainSoFamiliar]

Yeah flip it upside down and offset it

I just flipped mine the other day. When I did though, I found out the screws didn't fit correctly anymore so I had to mod the frame a little. Just sawed the inside so it fit flush with the bumper and then screws went right in. The bottom sticks out slightly for my liking but I have a plan for that next week when I am not working. Just going to take a couple black zip ties and pull it flush against the front and wrap it under the frame. You will never see the zip tie unless you are under the car. Looks way better flipped. Only issue killing me is the stupid small hole they drill in to a brand new frigging car's bumper. At least give us a better option that drilling after we pay all this money for it.

Do you have a coupe? If you just want to flip it upside down then just flip the washers upside down as well and the screws will go in

Yeah I have the coupe. Mod was already done. Fits quite nicelt now. Once we get a few days of sun here I will give the young gal a bath and make her look pretty and take a few pics of the front.

if you use factory holes, it blocks the rad and could potentially make the car hotter than it's supposed to be :/

 

[Nix]

That's what I was thinkin AP. I had wanted to do the flip but I didn't want to block more of the rad. Also my intake is just off to the side so I don't think blocking more flow would help anything.

I keep going back and forth on this with a custom type plate (like a Japanese one) but I'm not required to have a front one where I live so idk if I really wanna do it

Not required...... I'd take it off....... And I wouldn't block any more air by lowering it, either.........

 

[Monk]

I'd like to relocate my front plate to the wall collection in my garage....

 

[Flamethrower]

I did think about that. At this point it's not a huge concern. If I notice a giant change over the summer, then I will think about another option.
