Default Relocation on FRONT PLATE - Wings West kit - Anyone Done It?

Lets start off with a pic



Thats how the car looks now (minus the hood since it flew off at 130)

I dont want to just drill it into the stock location of the bumper and mount it dead center, bit of an eye sore, will block the intercooler a bit.

I want to relocate it to the bottom right I think but am unsure on how to do it. I dont want to drill into the bumper at all really, the top turn signal should be fully visible and I cant squeeze any bracket up there since the light fits so tight

How would you relocate the front plate on this car?

Thanks

It's basically an L-bracket from home depot with a 6" section cut out of one side and holes drilled in it. Get it for $5 at Home Depot...

a few bolts , 2 l brackets and an aluminum strip will get it mounted under the drivers side bumper light easily

You should put the front plate on your dashboard and save yourself some hassle.
ETA I am 95% sure that is legal in Virginia but I am not certain about your locale.

That's what I do. Not sure if it's legal though, but I see quite a few cars w/ it so i figure it prolly is. It's only a $35 ticket anyway...
