Any guesses on where the default front plate location is going to be? It looks like they'd have to have a custom bracket to attach to the grill unless they don't center it and put it on the underside of the top. Any hopes that it's standard offset ala the Evo? Maybe Dan might know.

Updated with first real life look at front license plate factory mounting location:

OEM will be fine with me, if there are pre-set threaded nuts discreetly hidden in the honeycomb. However, it seems most cars these days just have a dealership lot attendant sloppily install a plate frame right onto the painted bumper surface, off center and cattywompus with self-tapping sheet metal screws.

I think it may be in that crash bar area above the radar, as long as it doesn't damage the painted surfaces of the bumper I'm OK with it. I hate LP relocation kits as much as black wheels!

Any ideas about the plate holders possible measurements?

I live in Australia and we're required to have plates front and back. Wouldn't mind getting the jump and getting some personalised plates but yeah, not sure on width/length of this bad boy.

Thanks for updating, I went ahead and merged the two front plate threads together.

I hope that's removable for those of us that don't require a front plate.
