Whether you're looking to meet front plate requirements or keep your vehicle’s sleek design intact when you're at a car show, this kit offers a reliable, no-drill solution that protects your bumper and looks OEM clean. Follow along as we walk through the steps like a seasoned installer would.

Step 1: Mount the License Plate to the Holder

Start by attaching your license plate to the provided license plate holder.

  • Align the license plate with the mounting holes on the holder.
  • Place a black USS flat washer over the threads of two 1/4”-20 x 3/4” button head bolts.
  • Insert the bolts through the top holes of the license plate and holder.
  • On the back side, secure each with a 1/4" flat washer and a 1/4” nylon lock nut.

Pro Tip: Hand-tighten first to ensure alignment before fully securing.

Step 2: Attach the Holder to the Mounting Plate

Next, secure the lower part of the license plate holder to the mounting plate.

  • Place a 1/4” black flat washer on two more 1/4”-20 x 3/4” button head bolts.
  • Align the bottom holes of the license plate holder with the mounting plate.
  • Insert the bolts, then secure them with a 1/4” flat washer and nylon lock nut on the back.

Note: This connection gives your plate the rigid support it needs during highway drives.

Step 3: Prepare and Mount to the Grille

Let’s attach the mounting plate to your vehicle’s grille.

  • Make sure the surface is clean and around 60°F for the 3M double-sided tape to bond correctly. Use rubbing alcohol for best cleaning results.
  • Remove the tape backing from the mounting plate.
  • Insert the license plate bracket through the top center of the grille.
  • Press the rubber bumpers against the inside of the grille, then slide upward to secure the tape.

Pro Tip: Use a hairdryer or heat gun on low setting to warm up the grille if it’s too cold.

Step 4: Install the Rear Clamp Plate

This part ensures your mount stays secure even on rough roads.

  • Slide a split lock washer and flat washer onto two 1/4”-20 x 3/4” bolts.
  • Feed the rear clamp plate behind the grille from the inside.
  • Align it with the mounting holes and insert your bolts.
  • Finger-tighten first, then evenly torque until snug. Avoid overtightening!

This dual-attachment method makes "The Law" both removable and ultra-secure.

Step 5: Finish with the Front Strap Plate

To complete the setup:

  • Align the front strap holes with the holes in the rear strap plate.
  • Add a split lock washer and flat washer to two 1/4”-20 x 1” bolts.
  • Insert bolts through the strap and into the rivnut fasteners.
  • Tighten evenly until secure.

That’s it, you’re done!
