ITS Front license plate relocation

[Justpassedu]

I have yet to mount my front plate but when I do I plan to use this method I found using the stock bracket the car came with -

That looks terrible.

i agree; honestly all of the aftermarket options available look terrible and they all block too much airflow to the radiator/intercooler. i'm seriously considering it inside the cabin against the windshield in the passenger side corner, but i doubt it will be very secure there with the way i drive lol

Unfortunately I am going to have to mount a front plate as they ticket even while parked and I'd rather do anything but have to drill into the front. Putting it in my front window wont cut it. If you have any suggestions please let us know .

yall wanna hear something funny? i tried 2-way taping the license plate bracket in the same spot in the front where it would be if you drilled it, and it definitely came off while i was driving lol. it was on a 35 mph road right outside of my neighborhood so it wasn't a big deal, but i still feel like an idiot lol

Quick question, do all the bumpers have dimples for the front plate, even for markets that only have 1 plate?

Hard to tell from other's pictures.

At least you tried. No shame in that.

Go for the adjustable extension arm mounted from the lower grill and you can adjust it to where the oem location would be

I've been driving with my zip tie setup on the stock location since July and it's still good. I think though there really isn't a good option to relocate. Anything other than stock is going to be problematic with looks or airflow I think.

I'd also say I've recently seen too many driving with tow hook relocation that's got crooked plates...lol

lol i should have known better. let it be a lesson to anyone else who wants to do the same- it won't work. it's mostly empty space from the radiator/intercooler intake behind the bracket, and the piece of bumper that you would actually tape it too is too narrow (so too little surface area for taping) and is also angled to a point. if you want to tape your front plate, that ain't the spot lol.

i'm probably gonna leave it off until i get harassed by law enforcement. i think its a secondary offense in my state, meaning they can't pull you for it alone but can add it to whatever they do pull you over for. i want to say that it will encourage me not to speed... but i still will

When it comes to cringiest mods, this takes the crown.

I”ve been looking for other mounting option, since I’m still waiting for my ITS. The Carbonio mount seems good. Anyone try it yet?

I wish they had images of the bracket itself.

The installation instructions show pictures of it here:

It looks like two clamps hold the mount to a crossmember of the crossmember of the intercooler grill.

Interesting. I like that it allows adjustment of the angle but a little unsure if two bolts would be enough to make sure it doesn't come loose. Interesting design though for sure.
