back in session! cell phone quality =/
been doing alot with my car lately, mainly maintenance. decided i wanted to take the wing off and did. also wanted to mount my license plate but didn't wanna spend 15 for the mount so i went to home depot and bought myself the "L" shaped bracket and went from there, couldn't be happier cause it only cost me $2.84. lowered it again, but this time, it's more driveable

haha. thats cause i always leave it inside my car or placed on the dash. i like the look but i rather not risk it. i've never been caught for it and i've been pulled over numerous amounts of time.. recently it's just been sitting between my seat and the middle console collecting dust.. figured $2.84 wouldn't go to waste

yes i do. they're fir tree plugs/clips. you can find them at home depot/lowe's. sand the finish down, paint match it to your car's paint, put some clear silicon under and you're good to go.

you can find it at the hardware section at home depot.. they're called corner brackets.. and the size is 2". should come in a 4 pack. they sell these with screws and without. i chose without cause i needed custom screws that had a bigger head and i used a bolt and nut instead. hope that helps.

Did you use the self tapping screws and make new holes?

I have had those same brackets on mine for a good while now but they are in the orig factory holes in the middle... still debating on whether I want to make new holes to move it over a few inches
