I thought I could pick out some neg. camber in the back from the pictures. looks tight though.

I took a metal strap and placed it behind the lower grill. Then took longer screws with locknuts and screwed the plate to the strap. The tightness of the screws draws the plate tight. I put the soft part of a strip of velco on the backside of the plate so it doesn't scratch

They don't do it all the time and only if I have the radio off is when I hear it. Only like 5mph or less.
I'll snap a few pics at lunchtime to show the negative camber issue. I think there's quite a bit IMO. Can't wait for my kit

Her's a couple I snapped yesterday

I was thinking of buying the universal plate relocator from passwordjdm, but your way sounds better than the $50 they want. Can you snap a pic when you have a chance so I can see how you did it please. I'd really appreciate it bro, thanks---Brian

I tried to get a shot with both wheels but I tried like 7 times and couldn't get a good one but you can see it here

I'm not pulling my bumper to take a pic but here's my wonderful art skills with a diagram. It's very simple. If you put a bracket on one side of the grill and the plate on the other, just draw them tight and it stays
