Nice pictures! Either an exhaust or a tint is next.

I'd say tint, cause your leather will thank you.

Emerald,

From what I hear, it is easy to install but you have to take your time. As far as noticing it, may come from someone waxing it and you can see some of the wax along the seam or it may not have been installed properly. Just check out www.xpel.com for yourself. UW's car looks nice and you really can't tell from the pics plus, after bugs and stone/rock chips get hold of your car, it really makes the front of any car, really ugly. Also, on the site, it states that it may be more noticeable on a light colored like white, don't know why, but that's what it stated. Hope this helps!

size should be the same as the stock. length, i am not sure. I used 3 metal wires to tie it down and it's been very stable for me

but i suggest using screws in case they fall and you get pulled over by the cops for not having a front plate. LOL

I took my plate off tonight and MY GOD it looks soooo much better! I might just leave it like that. I checked mounting the frame upside down and I don't think bolts will work because it's not alligned correctly. Will have to use wires, but it's gonna be a hella tight fit to get the wires in there. Might have to take the bumper out to do it. Is that what you did UW TL?

no.. i didn't take out the bumper.. just remove the license plate and it should be pretty easy to tie the bracket down..

thanks for the props guys!! Yeah i installed the clear bra and every other aftermarket thing on the car myself. I like taking care of my baby and getting to know her myself

the license plate didn't come like that. Just unscrew everything (hopefully the dealer didn't drill two extra holes on your bumper) and turn everything upsdie down and rescrew it with longer screws. then you are done!
