Title: Lowering license plate from Grill
Post by: Melvin084 on February 17, 2014, 12:04:15 am

I would like to make my license plate lower instead of having it on the middle of the grill I want it right at the bottom like this vehicle here.

Anyone know how I can achieve this?

I wouldn't personally. Blocks a lot of air flow.

Doesn't look good either IMO.

As that was my car, I can tell you that from between November 2012 to May 2013 when I sold it and had no issues at all with the police  :grin: :grin:

I managed about two months without one on the front.

For a month I had a red and white one in window then a normal one.

After being pulled for it I normally run it.

A friend of mine bought something similar to that but has modified it so instead of flipping the plate, it raises and lowers it. Hes cut a slot in his bumper and the plate drops down through it. Looks pretty decent actually. I'll try find the video of it.
