here's mine
i used am OEM Delsol Y bracket*integra brackets will work too as long as it's Y formed*, drilled a hole in the middle of the Y and screw it underneith the bumper.....further more i drilled holes on my license plate so it shifts over more


hope that helps..Velcro doesn't seem stable enough.

The stock holder is bulky and IMO pretty ugly.

Shifting it to a side may not be symetrical but it sure looks better than having that big black plastic piece covering part of the bumper.

Don't bother with velcro because the sticky glue side will just fall off. Maybe try to put something together with zip ties.

Thanks for the comment



I guess the conclusion is everyone has their own opinions/taste.
Some like it in the middle, side, completely off or stock. If it floats your boat then all the power to you

..Mine is off and laying under my front floor mat just incase. But seeing that you still have your bracket why not take it off and install it upside down. This will put the plate closer to the ground and its looks clean. Wish I had know about this before I threw my bracket out!!!

Flipping the bracket is actually really easy. Just cut the triangle supports and bend it so that it bolts on and is level. All you need to cut the brackets is some wire cutters or sheers.

if u read around.. some guys have bought some bars from home depot, and bent them to fit flush on the bottom of the bumper.. and bolted them on in the center of the bumper, lower down then the OEM spot. looks much cleaner imo.
