OK, here is a DIY to save some money on a plate relocator. *Done on 10th gen, should work on others* Parts Needed: 2 Carriage bolts (thin enough to fit into the plate) 6 Fender washers (big enough to cover the gap between lower grill space) 6 Nyloc nuts (for the bolt size) Appropriate wrench/socket for the nuts Set of pliers *Possibly a jack to raise the car if needed Step 1: Remove the plate from stock location Step 2: Feed bolts through the top holes in the plate Step 3: Feed 1 washer behind the plate on each side Step 4: Put 1 Nyloc nut behind each washer *Plate should not be secure to the bolt* Step 5: After putting bolt through the grill to estimate how much space you want, put a Nyloc nut about where you want. (Put this nut on backwards to prevent slipping) Step 6: Put a washer behind the Nyloc nuts Step 7: Fine tune the nut from Step 5 to be what you want sticking out Step 8: *Pending which side you want the plate on, put one bolt through the small hole in the lower grill (between the solid part and the first opening) Step 9: Put a washer behind the grill on each bolt Step 10: Put a Nyloc washer on each bolt until tight DONE! I will take some pics and more info when I don't have a major ice/snow storm, lol Should end up like this
