Some states require license plates on both the front and the back of a vehicle. Not all vehicles are equipped with a front license plate bracket. Brackets are made with the contours of a bumper in mind. When the bracket is installed properly, spacers are first attached to the bumper and then the bracket is attached to the spacers.

2) Trial fit the license plate bracket to the vehicle to verify fit. 3) Take a supplied screw and use it to start a hole at each of the dimples on the front bumper. Using a short screw is the easiest. Once you have opened the dimples with the short screws, remove the short screws to continue with the installation. Insert a J-nut into the license plate bracket before placing the license plate bracket on the fascia. Install the license plate bracket with screws. Install the license plate with bolts.
