Default DIY: On My Front Plate... Enjoy!!!

hey all i know i took forever but here it goes
when u buy it from the website i provided in my last thread
you will get everything you need in the box... all you have to do is too take ur time and take off alot of stuff lol

1. if you wanna have it like i do then u have to cut your lower grill into a smile face..
2. if you dont then u can just attach it under ur bumper.... but i am not responsible if your car is low and u will scarp the dam thing off the next day..

here is the website!!
http://www.swiftmotorsports.com/index.php?cPath=2049

step 1..
take off your front bumper...

step 2..
there will be a wire and a remote box u will have to connect to your battery..


step 3..
run the wire from the remote box to where u want the plate to be there is a lot of wire so don't worry


step 4...
cut out the lower grill into a smile face so the plate frame go in...

step 5....
take the plate mount and screw in 2 screws that comes in the kit to the desire place u wanna put the plate... make sure u alignment!!!!!

step 6...
when u put the bumper back connect the wire to the little motor....

step 7....
put everything back and enjoy!!!

As you can see mine sticks out a lot since the hood piece wont let u put it more in... i did not zip tie it since i will be working on my car and i will be taking off my bumper on and off but i'v been riding like this for 5months and nothing happen it stays strong against the hood piece.. here are some more pics

when its closed u can see a little sticking out but looks like a ez pass LMAO

when u have it up you cant really tell that u cut out the bottom grill unless u look under the plate


Now you can enjoy nice and clean look where ever u pull up just throw down your plate

also got my headlight black housing really happy they turned out great!! MORE TO COME!!


Hope this helps if anyone needs help just shoot me a PM i will be glad to answer any questions!!!!

I cut my bar for the hood bracket so it sits flush inside the lower grill.
