Default relocating license plate to the side

Hey guys I've seen this done before with relocation brackets but is there any way to do it without spending the 15 bucks for a bent piece of metal?

how did you guys relocate the license plate?

I used the lower bracket that holds the license plate in. Attached it with a bolt, nut, and lock washer through the already cut hole where the drivers side fog would go. Not too shabby eh?



Oh yeah...I live in Montana. So I didn't blur my plates...who's gonna come to Montana to steal my whip? HAHA!

i like the idea of having on the passenger side visor...but in ohio, and i believe in most states...it's supposed to be on the outer most part of both bumpers...

i was told that by a police officer...and i liked that one (officer), so i'm going to listen to him.

Sorry for the smokey pic, only one that showed the bracket good
I acutally bought a evo bracket from mitsubisi, and custom fit it in the cutout of the bumper. Trying not to put a plate in front of the intercooler.

in states that require front plates, the plate must be securely fastened on the front bumper. even zip ties are illegal. bolts/screws only. that was taken straight from a police officer i know.
