Seems like a lot of chunk can get up under installed liner.... whats the fix, silicon, sealant?


Has anyone done a license plate delete on 5.0, by removing center plate holder? If so, did you just screw plate onto side where EcoV6 has theirs or did you go out and buy that Eco plate holder? Doesn't look like the center one will work on the side slots....

The fix is to get rid of the drop in liner.

Many have removed the center plate bracket off there 5.0L and installed a grill. The ecos have a different pad on the drivers side for the plate, its not just screwed into the bumper pad.

Dealer threw it in as an added incentive, dont think they will swap at this point but can check. I like the look of it alot better, to bad it comes with the concerns of rust and trapping dirt etc...
