Evo X license plate frame

hey how did u guy cover up the hole on the front? did u just cover it up with some black vinyl and put something behind it?

 

I think hes talking about the little circle covering the connection for emergency towing.

 

the holes in the center of the bumper where the license plate originally goes in the center of the bumper.

 

i got a new bumper on mine...i got into a fender bender las august and messed up my front bad...lost the hole but i have to drill new ones for my plate holder

 

I got my evo x plate today. I will be doing a how to shortly. do you have any more high res photos of your front end? I want to see more placement shots before I do it tomorrow.

 

I learned a painful lesson the other day. Used what seemed like super strong two sided tape. Only to see the bracket fly off my car when I was going 75MPH. It impacted my side mirror too. I drove back to where it flew off and saw it already got run over. looks like I am going to order another one and drill it this time round :roll:

 

yea, my bad for not shooting down the idea of double sided tape.

there is no way that it can handle the windforce and if the tape IS strong enough, its worse to the bumper and just better to drill at that point.

 

heres my evo x plate holder...





my trimmings



my holes



my screws
two of them has washer to hold the plate holder to the bumper



plate installed & screwed



fitment issue solved due to excellent trimming





now you guys know y i have to trim it...

well here you go up close and personal...you can also use it as a guide..

 

vik2rius what do you do about the holes in the middle of the front. your in cali like me so i know that the plate was on the car before? maybe pics

 

ya i use to have one...but my bumper got replaced due to fender bender i had last year...and i told them to cover up the holes...

 

Looks good vik2rius. I would go the official EVO X route but I dont think I can handle trimming. All my hardwork last time flew away last time. So this time I am going to follow the ebay guys instructions and just drill the darn thing.

 

hold off till you see my DIY.

I have done it and created it, I did it with No trimming.

I submitted it into a contest so I have to wait till a winner is declared before posting them all up.

I made 5x DIYs that I will be sharing.

 

theres actually a way to do it without trimming...using a rubber washer, 1\4" - 1/2" thick would do, but theres going to be a big gap...i have to trim mine to make fit the bumper....it was really easy...

 

knowing my luck I might find away to screw up the easiest of installs. Vik2rius how much did you pay for your mount?

 

nah, this ones pretty artard-proof.


...for the most part..............

its a good DIY, I am proud of it, its simple and to the point, 2 more days likely, they need to finalize things.

 

how much ?

 

whutchu talking about, you make it sound like you are picking me up on a corner.

 

my mistake, I thought you were selling some.
I am going to order it off the ebay guy again I am getting nervous driving around with no plates. Terrified of the ticket

 

aah, gotcha.

Trust me, go and buy the OEM Evo plate bracket, its much better than the generc plate on ebay for the same price. plus you can get it faster. you can even ask them to take one from the floor model evo and replace it with the one you order.



here are the pics from my how to
