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.

Thanks for the "shout out", i told ya didnt I! $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.

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

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

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.

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:

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 )

I would try to move it to the center.

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