Just finished some mods:

-relocated front license plate on custom bracket
-installed Hella 500 fog lamps on custom light bar
-replaced yellowish parking lamps with LED's
-installed OEM roof rack
-installed Ultragauge on custom bracket
-installed JCW style grille

 

Really like the license plate relocate idea. Any chance on some pics of the bracket by itself and a more detailed how-to.

 

Fog lights are looking slick! Nice work.

Any tips for the JCW style grills? Couldn't get most of the fasteners to actually hold on mine.

 

I had some clear plastic tubing sitting around in my shop and cut some to the right length so that the socket just engaged the spinner nut. This allowed me to apply enough pressure to ensure I could drive the nut all the way up on the plastic grille studs.

 

For the license plate bracket - its 2 pieces of 1" X 1/8" mild steel (available at most hardware stores, Home Depot, etc. and very cheap. One strap mounts to the underside of the black plastic spoiler reusing the two self tapping screws which held on the factory plastic plate mount.

Start with a straight piece of strap and attach to underside of spoiler in the approximate location you'd like the plate to be. Then mark where you'd like the first bend should begin and follow the curvature of the spoiler up. Leave enough to allow you to attach a cross piece which will support the bottom edge of the license plate. You can play around with the positioning, how close to the body work, angle etc. The nice thing is you just end up having a couple of holes on the underside of the spoiler so if you want to change things back - no problem..I went this route because I will be wanting to use the tow hook location eventually.

Paint the bracket and your good to go. Total cost for materials and fasteners is under $10.

 

I really dig that man its clean looking, any pics from the underside to get an idea how far out the curved pieces have to come?

 

Sick color! Nice mods!

 

Info on the lights and mount???

 

Looks good!

 

Very nice i wanna do the same nut with 4 lights :D
