Front License Plate Solution (?)

rdvrk219 · 12-07-2006, 12:38 PM

So my state requires tags in the front and of course dealership puts them on with no bracket and within the span of 5 seconds the silver lip gets minor scratches from rubbing on metal

P'O'd I went to Wal-Mart and saw this product which was a mounting backing made of plastic

Bell Automotive: Product Details

I was amazed to see it worked; no metal on paint now - I'm going to foam line the bottom to add protection.

Anyone else try this?

I know I saw a TSB somewhere for the front License Plate... its suppose to be a foam piece that gets stuck on the front bumper where the LP makes contact...

Mine came with 3 or 4 foam strips in the glove box. Never used them. Used rubber bumpers on the back of the plate.

Rdv do you live in Saint Mary's county and did you just purchase your fj recently ? I had the same bracket on my fj and lost my lisence plate going through some mud , it broke off and is lost in the hills of PA .

My plate has and is still scratching, there is always going to be a plate there, doesn't really make a difference if I'll never be looking behind the plate.
