Re: Front plate mount strategy?

[Neal Tovsen <nealtovsen@yahoo.com>]

Do you have euro bumpers? I think that would make a
big difference. With euro bumpers it wouldn't be a
problem. US bumpers are so much bigger...I'm not so
sure. There's a good pic of my car with a front plate
below the euro front bumper.

(2nd row down, in the middle) 

The screws for the front skirt are just a little too
far appart for the plate. I had a strip of metal with
holes drilled down the centerline (I think they were
part of a car stereo mounting kit). I cut two pieces
about 3" long, and mounted each to the skirt at one
end and the plate on the other. You couldn't see the
strips behind the plate/bumper.

...or, you could just move to Florida...it worked for
me!!
