[QUOTE="Badgertits, post: 1351801, member: 31322"] I already had the factory plate frame mounted to the bumper, I could care less about running a front plate - especially on a truck, hate it on my vette but I also don't want any additional reasons to get pulled over - I didn't really consider it a factor as "blocking" the intercooler, I'm sure it gets enough air. I didn't like how the factory plastic frame/bracket doesn't allow for any additional aftermarket license plate frame due to clearance within the bracket + the holding tabs @ the top AND the screw holes for the plate are at the bottom (realized thats partly why the tabs are on the top) & most/all nice plate frames have holes @ the top. I took a dremel & shaved down the plastic retaining tabs & drilled holes into the bottom of the license plate frame so I could mount it from the bottom w/ plate screws. While it seems plenty secure that way I also put a small velcro strip at the top of the plate between it & the plastic frame to really secure it (again - didn't appear necessary but this way it for sure while stay put) I needed a little "flare" to a black on black on black Raptor.....the "Raptor" frame is a nice touch IMO, Once it stops raining 24/7 I'm going to cut a couple small squares of black electrical tape & stick over the plate screw holes behind the top holes in the frame for cleaner look [ATTACH=full]122343[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
