Question New Brush Guard

So I got an early x-mas gift the other day the Westman Sportsman Brush Guard for my truck, after installation it looked great only problem is I can't seem to find a way to put my front license plate on anymore seems like the bottom bar is in the way. Can anybody recommend anything?

You have to trim the bottom of the plastic plate frame to clear that bar and it will still be a really tight fit. If you give me a few minutes I'll go pull mine off and show you.

Well I couldn't pull mine off. After trying I remembered just how hard it was to get it back on in the first place. I did take some pictures that will show how I trimmed it hopefully.

Here's the pics:

Here you can see how the frame is cut off just above the bar but the front flat part is still there to hold the bottom of the plate. The part that is actually cut is the parts that stick out in the back to give the plate more rigidity.



It is more of a process of cutting and test placement of the frame to find how much actually has to be cut.
