FMIC Owner's, how do you mount your front plate?

I did mine like this. Bent the top back as it looked worse just flat. I am going to use the same rubber graumet I used for my FMIC grate to go around the plate as a border to "finish" it off. Font plates suck and you will get pulled over eventually driving a moded import in Cali, so how did you do yours to not block the FMIC? I get 0 interference with this setup. Who knows if you can get busted for drilling wholes in your front plate? I bought a plastic mounting bracket that lets me place the plate that high, if anyone is interested in it I will find the link/part #.




(sorry camera phone)

If that's how you do it you are ganksta!

Mine is a bracket that uses that stock holes and has a piece on each side so you can adjust the plate up or down. I was able to get it right where I wanted by drilling in the middle of the plate.

So if you meant I tapped into my core, than nah.

Yeah that wasn't working for me. Not only does it block half of my FMIC, taking it off and putting it back on 3 times a week was not only makes the holes in the bumper bigger, it was stripping the screws. Thanks for the imput though.
