Any one know if the lic plate mount on a 5 litre can be moved to the d/side of the bumber?? If so how does the mount and rubber bumperet detach.

 

I think you can buy the rubber insert for an Ecoboost and swap them, but why do you want to move it?

 

I'm betting to put a lightbar in there

 

may want to get the EB emblems for the doors too.

 

Part number BL3Z-17811-AA is what you need, license plate bracket for an Ecoboost.

 

eBay you can get the kit. I thought about this as well. But the radiator and everything is above that behind the grill so I didn't see any benefit. Plus the 5 slow is pretty impressive tuned so no need to imposter an EB.

 

Yes (the offset license plate holder can be used on any 2009-2014 F-150 that has the 2(two) bumper pads - one on each side of the lower bumper opening). EXCEPTION: Raptor.

Sueeze the tips of the mounting tabs (backside of the bumper) and remove the bumper pad. The license plate bracket/holder replaces (and uses the same mounting slots as) the bumper pad.
.

 

Moving the mount has nothing to do with a light bar or being an E/B imposter. Just perfer the look of the mount on the D/S.

Thanks for the info folks.

 

Many times you can find somebody to swap the liscense plate mount for the "bread Loaf" plastic bumper insert.

 

Macs2013, did you move your plate?

 

No, I tried to remove the bread loff but could not get my hand up behind the bumper to squeeze the tabs.

 

I tried the part number you posted and it does not exist, you left out a digit. The actual number is BL3Z-17E811-AA

 

I have the "broadleaf" brackets for sale if you still need to get them. I returned my original lease, which I had to buy them for. PM if interested.

 

Good catch! Sorry about that, I was in a rush when I typed it.
