Hey guys

i decided tonight that i am going to remove my front bumper license plate bracket whatever you call it.

anyway i was wondering how should i go about removing it?


there are two pieces that are stuck in between the metal bumper and the lowest plastic one that goes around the tow hooks.


has anyone removed one and knows a trick?

 

if you crawl under the front you will see the two bottom plastic tabs between the bumper and the valence, you just need a flat head screw and flatten i guess you would say, the tabs so you can push them out, then the top 2 tabs will "unhook" after the bottom is released , by lifting the bottom of the plate bracket towards you.

or you can just rip it off.........


its very easy, just crawl under and take a look , its just those 2 bottom tabs that you have to undo

 

yeah i crawled under there but the 2 brackets are really up underneath this metal piece of the bumper. i could barely fit my hand up into it. it kind of felt like the only thing holding it was at the end of the tab was a + shape.

i would rip it off but it is required in the state of WA to have a front license plate. so just in case i ever do get pulled over i can BS the cop

 

thats how mine came off on my 05, might be different for since you have an 06+ bumper, but i doubt it

i would still try a flat screwdriver .

lets see if any 06 + guys have any say in this

 

HAHA nevermind, i was touching a different piece, got it!

that was really easy sorry!

 

no prob

now lets see how strict the cops in your area really are

i admit it looks 10x better , but to me its not worth the ticket to me

 

oh the place where i have my apartment, they dont have anything to do so theyll pull you over and make up some BS.

but back over in Seattle the cops really dont give a crap at anything unless your blacked out drunk driving on the sidewalk

 

Rip it off and throw it up in the front windshield or attach it to your skid plate?

 

I forget how but its extremely easy.

 

Pull straight out.... Thank god i live in a state that doesnt need front plates anymore

 

I just snatched mine off and when I did I did I cut my finger,lol. Now I think it looked better with it on so I might order another one dangit.

 

Same here - just pulled and the tabs gave and off it came with no damage to them. TX requires the plate here too but from what "heard" only if the vehicle CAME with the mount and the mount stays attached. Seems to me that means if there is no bracket then how would you put a plate there...mmmmmmmmmm we'll have to test that theory I guess.

 

I just grabed mine and pulled and it came off hahaha.. We dont have to have em here in Alabama! w00t

 

Tn. has no such law thank goodness.

 

Doesn't matter if there is a braket or not, you're still required to display the front LP in Texas. Mine is off and havent had any problems.
