Default license plate relocation bracket.

Well since I'm finally retired I'm gonna install the after market inner cooler that has been collecting dust. I've read dozens on the relocation of the license plate. They all looked so cheap and flimsy I decided to design and 3d print my own out of CF. The four mounting points will be much stronger than the basic 2 bolt. We are required front and back here so no choice.

Ford actually has an offset plate holder. I had one on my 2011.

Thats pretty slick for sure, but mishimoto makes ones thats pretty cool and you dont need to drill into your plastic with their kit, kind of a pricey though, and does use up a tow hook it looks like

If I can design and make my own I do. Printing this from (PETG-CF) carbon fiber cost me abt $15 including the amazon inserts.
There's a lot to be said for custom.

Kids all over your neighborhood are being denied ice cream because parents dont believe "I saw sasquatch today"

front plate - true. My family member received a ticket from a local deputy for not displaying front plate on his sedan. Another time received a warning when it was on display on dashboard. PITA.
thanks for sharing.

Nice bracket, the 3D printed stuff is definitely cool…I gotta get one of those.

I bolted mine right to plastic trim piece…
