Marc Smith Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 ok I'm convinced that the dealer installed the front plate bracket in the wrong location... see th epics... is there a prefered location for the plate... shoudl I move it down or should I move the bracket UP to become a bit of a grille blocker. or should I mount it in the lower grille (partial grill blocker). I know I'd have to "fold" the edges of the plate to make it fit. Local constables probably would not like it too much... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fbov Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 (edited) Yep! The wide notch on the side frame should straddles the grill border and sheet metal (plastic?) below the grill, and the top three functional slots should not be blocked (at least not by the license plate holder). Note this pic is after blacking out the chrome on the grill... and blocking the grill opening (inner tube).

Marc Smith Posted June 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 so is there any real reason to "lower" it I'm thinking leave it be... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptjones Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 I think that is a better location the way you have it, more aerodynamic. I use that location on Grill Cover. :) Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotomoto Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Our two CMaxes came from different dealerships and one has the upper location and the other uses the lower. FWIW hybridbear 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
