Post What is the distance between the Fog lights on stock US Jk front Bumper?

Hi

I would like to put a US stock bumper on my JK as I do not like the Ozzie stock bumper supplied, however I think that the bumper was modified in Australia to allow for our larger licence plates. Before I order a front bumper from the states I would like to make sure that my licence plate will fit in between the fog lights.

Thanks.
Below is a pic of the Ozzie Jk bumper, awful looking I must say!

Default Sonic I agree!

But I'm assuming this bumper will weigh less than a steel teraflex, therefore keeping shipping cost down, also not many vendors will ship steel bumper O/S.

No there actually a lot smaller. They range from 14" for standard issue to I think around 10"-12" for custom slim line plates.

Looking at the pics I think the plates should fit but I'd like to b sure before I go through the hassle and expense.

Thanks
