Awesome job. I think I'm going to try this over this week-end. I have one question though; how are those rubber stoppers affixed to the steel plate?

I used epoxy. Everything is still holding up after 6-months.

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right?

I didn't want to drill into my new bumper, this was the best idea I've seen to mount my license plate. Thanks RedJK2.

Default Thanks for the idea! I stole it, too. Cost about $10.







Just as good as the 40-70 dollar ones. Great idea!

Hmm, I think I will attempt combining the two ways shown here. I will post some pics of mine when I get my Jeep back and am able to make this for my license plate!
