Mounting Instructions
Mounting with no frame
To Mount With Screws If you are mounting the plate directly to your bumper, you will need to drill holes to match the holes on your bumper. If the bumper has no holes, the corners of the plate are ideal places to drill. Our plates do not come with holes and we don't have the capability of drilling them. We always recommend a mounting frame as the first option.
To Mount With Screws Once the holes are drilled in the plate and bumper, use the screws to install the plate on the bumper. Using the colored screw caps, attach them over the tops of the screws. Eight caps are included when ordered through our website: four white, two black and two blue.
Standard black mounting frame
Remove the lower strip from the frame by pulling from the center out. You will hear the piece snap out of place, continue by pulling each side of the strip towards the center.
To Mount With Screws: Remove plastic washers from the frame as indicated by the picture. You can use these plastic washers for the screws if needed. Choose the holes on the frame relative to the ones on your bumper and then screw in.
Once the frame is attached to your car, insert the plate from the bottom up, until it seats itself within the frame clips on the sides and top. Reinstall the strip by sliding both sides into the frame and pressing the strip into the frame.
CHROME / GLOSS BLACK MOUNTING FRAME
Mounting instructions are the same for our Chrome and Gloss Black frames.
Install frame onto vehicle. Remove the lower strip by pulling from the center edges of the frame. Slide the plate into the side of the frame and bend it slightly in order to get the other side of the plate secured.
Press the plate down and slide up into place. Snap the lower strip back into place.
Carbon fiber mounting frame
The Carbon Fiber Frame is slightly different to install than our other frames. Install frame onto vehicle. The front of the frame pulls up and hinges at the top. You can then place the plate in the frame and snap the hinge back into place.
CLEAR COVER MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
Peel off green protective film from both sides of clear cover.
Slide the clear cover into the frame under the tabs on both sides and the top. Slightly lift the clear cover up and slide the plate into the frame underneath the clear cover.
Mounting with 3m dual lock kit
After thoroughly cleaning your bumper, peel the back from one side of the 3M and adhere to the frame or plate (if no frame). Next peel off the back from the other side. Position the frame on the vehicle and press firmly to fully adhere to the bumper. Be sure not to wash the vehicle or remove 3M for 24 hours to maximize hold. We recommend replacing the Dual Lock every 12-24 months depending on how extreme the weather is in your area. To remove, we recommend a hair dryer (not a heat gun!) to help soften up the adhesive.
Applying seals and decals
Seals or decals can be applied anywhere on the plate. Conventionally the seals are applied between the first letters. Region seals go on the bottom, green expiration seals goes above it.
