Bell license plate relocator bracket - easiest, cheapest, ever
 
at autzone for 8.99

it is ridiculously nice. very solid construction. very simple. and its cheap as hell. you just cant get any better than this. props go to zumn for discovering it. and it comes with 2 ways to attach, bolts+nuts and 2 self tapping screws. the screws fit pretty damn well.

did you drill holes?

ZumnRx8 04-25-2009 06:16 PM

Thanks for the "shout out", i told ya didnt I! :yesnod: $8.99, It looks SUPER CLEAN! Great that its BELL not knock off crap, and even better its Super Multi- Adjustable using only an Allen, and if you are going to attend a car show or something u dont have to take off the whole bracket, just undo the Allens and leave the mounted part on. Becareful on steep driveways/Entrances to parking lots up or down, License Plates bend super easily.
Now u just need a custom Vanity Plate LIKE ZUMNRX8! lols. (im serious) You should get ZUMNVR8

for those of us with stock equipment, you can use the normal screw holes to attach the underbody. just take 2 out and replace it with the screws the kit comes with. also, i took some double sided foam tape and put it on the spot that the license plate touches my bumper. i just didnt remove the plastic strip on the bumper side. gives it some padding so it doesnt dent the bumper.

this kit works really nicely. and its so damn cheap.

Kudos to you but honestly I'm not a fan.

Not my style - but i don't hate the concept - looks very clean. Props as some people will probably love this mod.

Aipex8 04-26-2009 02:20 PM

Looks much too low. With S-Techs and the OEM air dam I already have to be careful with driveways.

HWK11 04-26-2009 03:19 PM

only if it was little higher i would get it

KraZy K 02 04-26-2009 03:28 PM

I like it, but I will have to agree with others that it looks a little low.

HWK11 04-26-2009 03:58 PM

have you guys ever scraped the bottom of the license plate?

kersh4w 04-27-2009 12:41 AM

i have not. but i've only had it a few days. honestly, its only an inch shorter than the lip. its still a lot higher than most people's front lips that are lowered or have body kits.

HWK11 04-27-2009 12:53 AM

ohh thats good, are you running on any spring?

SiLVeRE8 04-28-2009 07:09 PM

Just got this installed and it was easy as hell. I am impress by how it holds up and how drilling is not required. One thing to add is that even though its 1 inch lower than the front bumper, its really not that bad. Here are some crappy cell phone pics:

fyi, san diego county is 15.99 :(

SiLVeRE8 04-28-2009 07:30 PM

well I wouldve still bought it if it was that price... better than sticking with the center original plate holder

RIWWP 04-28-2009 07:36 PM

I'm getting this as soon as I can find it. I'm running on borrowed time till a plate ticket, but haven't been willing to put my buck tooth out there. Excellent solution for in-state. (Still removing it for any out of state trip :) )

Razz1 04-28-2009 08:41 PM

I would try to move it to the center.

You can always go to True Value Hardware and buy angle brackets.
