    Hey man check out my post on page one. Though it's a night shot, you can still see the plate mounted below the lower valence and the accessory lights above it.

    It's post #13.

    I was interested in how you trimmed the license plate mount, not the lights. A side shot of the mount (contoured) on the bumper is what I was looking for. :oops:

    Take a look. Just really chopped the bottom portion off so that it matched the bumper profile. All I used was a utility knife and some awesome spring loaded scissors that I have.

    I made sure they didn't mount a license plate but on my last truck they did, never knew what to do with the holes so I left it on. Those lights are awesome!

    Under the bumper hinged license plate. $5 Lowe's hinge. Since the day I installed I also placed a long bolt to keep the plate from swinging too far back. IMG_6209.jpgIMG_6207.jpg

    Calif use to be that way, no more waivers. Any large dealers will install the mount. I had a cobra and infiniti's with no plate. Got pulled over because of it because it was midnight when I got off work which is close to a bar. I said fuck this shit, if I ever was drinking I dont need to give anyone probable cause. Other than that I have a built in cop to sign shit off.

    PS If anyone is replacing their OR one I am looking for a black bumper piece, dont mind any holes.
