Front plate relocation.

Went to my local HD and picked up 2 #10-32 x 5/8 expansion/well nuts, 2 10-32 x 3/4" SS socket cap screws (The expansion/ well nuts and screws came from the specialty fastener drawer) and a bag of SS #10 washers. For Installation a drill, 3/8 drill bit and a 1/8" allen wrench.

 

 

I'm from Miami, I dont trust anybody...

 

My question is does it really need to be relocated? I assume you did this due to having an ecoboost.

 

Hi, I don't block mine, but if I post a picture of someone else's vehicle I block their's.

 

With the correct tools, and a license plate number - someone can easily be identified online. Where someone may want to remain anonymous.

 

In Indiana we are very lucky because they don't require front plates.

I don't bother blocking my plate number but I CAN understand if one chooses too.

For those that want to this little device is cool, save the trouble of photoshopping. Kind of reminds me of James Bond's old DB5.


Does the OP notice any performance improvement by relocating to one side? To me it does spoil the symmetry of the front of the truck, it's his truck he can do with it what he likes.

That's exactly the reason. Ford should of given you the option of purchasing an offset plate bracket for this situation if you purchased an EB F150 IMPO. The 14' EB you could get an aftermarket LP frame that would replace the black bumper insert, but on the 15' It's all one piece so that wouldn't work.

 

Then again I'm not that paranoid LOL.

As for Symetry.. It's a truck not a runway model . I'll probably add a black frame around it to blend it somewhat.

Don't know if there is any performance improvement, but common sense says if something needs airflow to cool down why would you block it with a solid object. Try covering the vents on an AC or fan... Not gonna cool much efficiently.
