    I have my front plate in the standard for toyota spot that covers the lower grill opening. I want to open the grill slot.
    What have people done to open that up in states that require a front plate on a stock bumper?

    Idk what he meant by “tory” but I think he wants to relocate his front license plate to unblock the opening of the lower valance

    @ACEkraut bracket, or use the lower plate holes so the plate sits above the holes not below the holes.

    Or jam it in the windshield corner

    Want to put a light in it, but don't want the plate blocking it.
    Most of the people I see using the spot live in areas that don't require a front plate.

    Thanks all for the mention and for providing the link.

    @HawkShot99 I won’t clog up your thread with a sales pitch. If you have any questions just give me a shout. Glad to help if I can.
