i just relocated my front license plate this past weekend. It's a lot easier than I thought it would be.
I just popped off the fasteners that were holding the plastic bracket to the front bumper, made a piece of sheetmetal the same length as a license plate, made it about 3.5" - 4" tall. Used the old bracket for a stencil for the holes, used the license plate as a stencil for the other holes, drilled, and bent the metal to about 45 degrees and used bolts/lockwashers/nuts to secure it under the bumper where the two lower holes from the old plastic plate holder were.
The hardest part was to get the plate to the bumper as its hard to get your hands up under the plastic to hold the nut and spin the bolt.
Oh, I painted it too, to deter rusting. You can't really see the bracket at all though.
It looks real good and is an easy mod. I can see the SC on the front bumper now. My only dislike is the two small holes left up top on each side of the SC. I'll fix those when I repaint though.
A trained monkey could do this, and it looks a lot better than stock.
