Alright so you have to remove the liscence plate to get at the two bolts behind holding the bracket on. Then remove the Two bolts holding on the bracket and place the lisence plate w/ screws off to the side.






Your going to want to cut off the plastic "Humps" to make it look like the picture below. This is where the Dremel will come in handy. You can use tinsnips if your *really* good with them... but the dremel was just that much easier. Be careful to not cut it down too much and hit that hole where the screw goes through, as thats where the bracket is connected to the grille.










Flip it around and re-mount it on the grill.





Heres how it should sit from the side.





Success- Thumbs up!




Looks like this afterwards--


Good Luck and Thanks for looking

i did the same thing to my buddies car. cept it was way lower and all you had to do was drill one hole in the bottom of the grill flip the license plate upside down and then re insert.
