Default Regular bumper pad for ecoboost pads

I'd like to trade my regular front bumper pads for the ecoboost license plate bumper pads. Trying to buy an inch in my very small garage and moving the front plate to the side might help out. Literally every centimeter counts for me. I like the side mount look over the center mount.

I'm in Illinois. Let me know.

I had to cut one of the lower struts in my garage door in half to fit the trck, now one of the hinges of the door comes about a half inch from my plate. Getting it off the front and out to the side will help me sleep better at night knowing my garage door is not as close to the front of my truck.

move the plate BEHIND the bumper opening. it will still be visible so you are legal, but it would give the clearance you need.

I dont think anyone with an EB is gonna trade you because they need to keep that area clear for the intercooler.

good luck

You still need the Eco license plate pad? I just replaced mine but can always use a spare solid pad for experimenting with adding front parking sensors into the plastic.
