[QUOTE="Huachipato, post: 10519769, member: 22395"] I didn't really think anybody would be interested in doing what I did. I know it is common consensus that blocking the intercooler radiator is not the best of ideas - and I agree. However, I don't like getting pulled over with the no front plates as an excuse. So I thought I'd put them in front of the intercooler anyways - but make it easy enough to take down if need be as well. I'm going to show it a little backwards, cause I don't want to take the L brackets out of the bumper, but I believe you will get the main idea. For the install, the L brackets were on the license plate, and I placed the License plate into position and placed the long wood screws into the foam. Once the initial install is done, you can remove two screws and this is what you get: [img]http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/198458_1896187086692_1302032879_32295898_6005540_n.jpg[/img] [img]http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/188321_1896187446701_1302032879_32295900_7167357_n.jpg[/img] Here is what I took off (that is not the actual plate, but I thought it got the idea across): [img]http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/199832_1896187846711_1302032879_32295901_6557808_n.jpg[/img] License plate mount in place behind L bracket: [img]http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/199562_1896187966714_1302032879_32295902_7598506_n.jpg[/img] Now license plate lined up: [img]http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/184956_1896188206720_1302032879_32295903_4706526_n.jpg[/img] [img]http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/197649_1896188366724_1302032879_32295904_5137885_n.jpg[/img] place in the license plate screws, and done: [img]http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/197287_1896186686682_1302032879_32295897_179022_n.jpg[/img] Anyways - as you can see - removing the two screws is easy and leaves the L brackets in place. So if I needed to race (which I don't do) it is easy to remove. I have had this set up for over a year - and for normal every day driving I have not had any issues, even in TX heat. Anyways - just thought I'd share. :-) [/QUOTE]
