Default FRONT PLATE RELOCATION LIKE IT - HATE IT?

RELOCATION BRACKET DONE!!!

Gotta have the front plate...no reason IMO to draw more attention to the car.....

so I had to move the plate up now that there is a new intercooler radiator behind where the dealer put the plate..... used two corner brackets bolted in an inverted manner to move the plate out, to clear the lip on the bumper, and up to clear the lower intake area for the cooler...

max air flow = max cooling you know....... and that means POWER!!!

some pics of the mod.... cost me like $5 in parts @ Home Depot...

Would look better if you would straiten that plate out.

I'm just glad we don't have to have a front plate in Michigan.[sm=hail.gif][sm=hail.gif]
