DIY- Front License Plate Flip W/ Pics
First Things first. Tools required--
1) Something to cut the plastic (I used a Dremel with a cutting bit) 2) Phillips Screwdriver to remove the lisence plate and bracket Difficulty level- 1/5. Cutting is required. 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 -Shawno Last edited by shawn-o; 10-06-2006 at 01:40 AM. |

Just a note to sedan owners that this isnt as cooperative as it is on coupes, you also need to trim the top of the mount (bottom once you flip it) so that you can get it on the car.
