When I was putting a frame on my front plate, I discovered that the mounting bracket could be “mounted lower“ by flipping it upside down and using the same mounting holes. There are tabs on the upper part that fit into slots - there are no slots to utilize after the flip but you could likely leave it as it is or drill a couple of holes and secure it with two trim push pin clips.

This only really works if you do not have ACC. It takes up less real estate than a typical light bar and offers a small bit of protection to the intercooler, while letting air into that area.

Anyway, here’s a before and after - let me know if you prefer it lower or in the original spot.

Original. But pure opinion. These pictures remind me of seeing the Mazda smile with or without license plate ?

I know some might say it blocks the radiator a bit but doubt it matters.

I took mine off. No one seems to care and if I get a fix-it ticket I still have the bracket.

First thing I did when I got my truck home was take mine off.
