Jan 26, 2008 - Moved front license plate down to block the grill
Its been rainy, so the car is filthy! In Texas, we're required to keep a front license plate to avoid harassment, so I decided to start by making the most of it.
You can see the two holes in the bumper where the top of the plate used to attach. Below that, from inside the grill, is a metal bracket that was originally affixed to the bottom of the plate. I did some creative bending to the bottom bracket so it would serve as a top bracket for the plate tucked inside the grill opening.
I also added a bit of 1/4" rubber tubing to the top edge of the plate just to keep it from scratching in to the bumper finish.
Future plans are to completely cover the top grill opening in a tasteful way.
