I like that it's made of steel. I like that is slightly angled Back. I don't mind the fact that I'll have to drill 2 holes in the Bumper to mount it. Just wondering if anyone else has already done this. I'm pondering Pros n Cons of the Steel bracket versus a Aluminum versions. Thoughts??? Thanks!!

I installed the RERPRO Front License Plate Frame that is Aluminum. You remove two of the existing Torque bolts and then install this in that location then reinstall the screws. Am very pleased with it. Its rock solid.

Did you end up going with this? I am interested in the same. I have no qualms about drilling the capable bumper for a solid install.

I had another style the pinches onto the inner lip that fell off about 4 months in, it was after I went through a deep puddle that could have loosened it but I never liked that it only pinched the lip and never really engaged. Luckily I was able to go back and find my plate, but my confidence is shaken in the product and I'm looking for something better.
