Looks good man.

I could not get the license plate locator to work on a stock front bumper. It angled weirdly and after one day I smashed it sideways and it is unusable now.

I just played around with it till it got how I wanted it to be. I meant keeping the screws fairly tight and pushing it into position in very small amounts and then holding it in place while tightning the screws. I think I spent a good 30 minutes getting it how I wanted.

I also had to use longer screws than the ones that were normally on the bumper. They were to short to go through the holder and actually screw into the bumper again.
