The design is easy to unscrew from your car when you decide to take a chance.
(1) I used the "
front mounting bracket" and "
tow hook ring" both come from dealer with the car and made a "
L " adapter.
(2) I knocked off the four mounting bolts on the "
front mounting bracket" and drilled two holes for mounting on "
L " adapter.
(3) I bent a 1 1/4" width ss plate as a "
L " shape, short lenght 1 3/4" and long lenght 3 1/2".
(4) Drilled one hole on short and two holes on long ( short side will be attached to "
tow hook ring", and long side to dealer's "
mounting bracket")
( don't made short length < 1 3/4", you need space b/t the plate and your front lower cam, so if you hit some thing at parking, you will have a buffle space for your "$7000++" front clamshell)
(5) I mounted the "
L " on to the "
front mounting bracket", then mounted the License Plate on the "
mounting bracket".
(6) I used one big washer as an adapter to mount the "
L " on the "
tow hook ring".
Note: Don't mount the plate too low, because it is extended out few inches, it will hit the ground when you get in or out fron the drive way. I learned this from my mistake. I forgot about the extended few inches caused a lot of problem.
