Not bad! No holes in the bumper.
BTW, your registration sticker is in the wrong place. Its supposed to be next to your inspection sticker (side by side) not above it. LOL

Here's the pics:
First is before the molestation
Second with the tow stud in place
Third with the metal plate installed.
Fourth with the license plate attached to the metal plate.
Personally I love it!! Although I can see it will not be for everyone.
The plate kit was extremely good quality, totally solid. If you want to find out more checkout http://www.moweraxle.com, Larry will help you out.

This is a very clever way to mount license plate -- but I happen to think it actually looks better centered with the factory bracket. Just personal taste Enjoy JAllison. Maybe I'll see you around the neighborhood.

that looks pretty good. and yes no holes...
the problem will be when you park the car on the street or in a garage here in the city.. and someone does the "bump and park" on ya.. then the plate will be mangled and probably press up against the bumper and leave slices into the plastic...
if you look at the 2nd picture.. you can see clearly the support plastic inside of the lower black mesh grill.. that is where I drilled the center hole for my bracket....
believe me... I cringe at parking my car on the street. and I always point out to the garage dudes that my front bumper is free of major scratches and that I expect it to stay that way.. luckily, I haven't had any issues..

Actually, where you put your front plate is an excellent location. While no one wants to see a bumped front bumper, a mashed up plate can't be made to look right again. Your plate is mounted where MB should provide a spot for it. Nice work.

my comments really are aimed a city dwellers or attendant equipped garage users with a plethora of opportunities to have someone parallel parking in front of you... (inevitable, they always back up till they bump... after the first off center bump.. the corner 1/4 of that plate will be bent back onto the bumper adding a nice slice into the plastic.... the plate from the factory has a bracket that is mounted the length of the plate alleviating that possibility)
anyway... the installation looks good and better suited for other places than cities where you park on the street without marked spaces (like NYC)
just my 2 cents from a parallax view.
