Relocate the front license
plate |
Description |
I think this only applies to the
97+ DSM's but I'm not sure. Basically all I did was to
move the front plate inside the air scoop. The way I have
it angled it doesn't block flow to the radiator and it
only moderately effects cooling of the power steering
system (I recommend removing the plate for AutoX). The
great thing is that from 20+ feet away the plate is 95%
visible. This means you "shouldn't" get hassled
by the man since he'd be hard pressed to claim he can't
see it. Of course, if you go the route I went, and also
use a tinted plate cover, he will have an argument to
make. So if you're really worried about cops stopping
you, use a clear/no plate cover. |
How-To |
All you need to do is some heavy
gauge solid metal wire to thread through the holes in the
plate and around the power steering cooling line. Whether
or not you use a plate cover doesn't effect the mount.
See the pictures for a better idea. It really is easy.
Note: make sure whatever you use to attach the plate
won't melt. I used those plastic wire ties first and they
just melted off :O |
