If you have the holes, run the plate. This looks like butt and as an added "benefit" restricts airflow into the engine compartment.

I had to replace my front bumper, and haven't run a front plate for a year and a half. Even got pulled over for speeding during that time (imagine that), and the cop didn't say anything about it. If they give me a fix it, I'll buy the bracket.

For right now, I'm thinking I'll paint the bolts a pleasing color and screw them in. Leave it until I'm ready to start on body work. I've got a gnarly scratch on my front fender that's through the paint so I have a list of body/paintwork to do.

I'm gonna run mine here, til I get the holes fixed, then take it off Ya see I have a cdl license, so 2 beers means I'm dui, (not a good thing) I cant afford a cop with a hard on......know what I mean?!

So this is it for awhile, I found quite a bit of cancer on the hood front and underneath. bubbling the paint, prolly 'bout 200.00 bucks worth of body work, I'm getting another hood, (fiberglass). But this is the last spot in the license plate saga. Put on a chin spoiler as well. Pix!

With the foglight placement I think that looks pretty good. That chin spoiler looks great too.

Thanks, it's temporary. I need too fill in all the holes in the bumper, repaint and put a proper mounting bracket. on. But first I need a hood, plain an simple.......friggin, rust! wtf.

The OEM hood does not 'rust' as it is made of aluminum.
Aluminum 'corrodes' constantly when exposed to the air.

Yep. read up on it, I had no idea it was an aluminum hood when I posted..................But the tsb has iron residue as the reason for bubbling. Luckily it just says repair the affected area, and not the whole hood.
