I just zip tied it to the Grill. I dont have a front plate anymore since I moved to Tennessee. I know Zip ties are pretty getto but they are easy to take off when I want to

this looks like its plug and play. its obviously a bit pricey compared to the others but it has the ring with the screw holes around it. so that might be an easy install if you didnt want the hassle.

you dont need any ring. All you need is a boot. I will take some time tomarrow to pull mine apart to take some pics for you guys. it is very easy to install. it will only take like 15 mins at the most

nope, I used the BELL licence plate bracket, it was ZUMN's idea. I think its in the DIY section. You can get it at Autozone and its only like $11.99

theyre enkei J10s 18s with 245/40/18 tires all around. I love em.

@cfm- did you have to screw into the body at all?? im really interested in doing this. seems cheaper/easier than the evo kit.
