• So I purchased an OEM front license plate mount for my 2012 Frontier. I opened it and the only thing included was 4 screws. No instructions and also nothing else. Isn't it supposed to come with 2 white 'sleeves' that the screws go into? Also isn't there supposed to be a few other pieces?

FRONT LICENSE PLATE BRACKET INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS – Introduction – Helpful General Information to Read Before Installing All of our license plate brackets are designed and manufactured so they screw into the existing license plate mounting locations in the Subaru bumpers.

Some states require license plates on both the front and the back of a vehicle. Not all vehicles are equipped with a front license plate bracket. Brackets are made with the contours of a bumper in mind. When the bracket is installed properly, spacers are first attached to the bumper and then the bracket is attached to the spacers.

Step 1

Measure the front bumper from side to side using a tape measure to find the center.

Step 2

Measure the front bumper from the top of the bumper to its bottom.

Step 3

Place the license plate bracket on the center mark so that its four corners are centered from side to side and from top to bottom on the bumper.

Step 5

Push a pen through each of the four corner holes of the bracket and place guide marks on the bumper.

Step 7

Pre-drill 1/8-inch deep guide holes at each of the four corner marks using an electric drill with an 1/8-inch bit.

Step 8

Place the bracket back on the bumper so that it lines up with the four holes.

Step 9

Insert the four mounting screws that came with the bracket into the four holes.

Step 10

Screw the screws down until the bracket is secured to the bumper.

Once the epoxy on the license plate frame has set, we're ready to start on the grille. If your car has a steel bumper, you can probably skip to step 8 since you won't need magnets on the bumper.

I put a strip of masking tape on the back of the license plate frame so that once it is 'attached' to the grille, I can move it around without scratching the grille. I also put a towel down on the table so I didn't scratch the grille while I'm working on it.

Now, turn the frame up side down and place the grille on top of it, aligning them close to where you want the frame to sit. Place magnets on the back side of the grille matching each magnet with the ones on the frame. This will 'attach' the frame to the grille. You should be able to pick up the grille and frame as one piece.

Measure/eyeball the frame, moving it to where you want the final location. As you move the frame, the magnets on the backside of the grille should move around as well. Once you have the frame located where you want it, apply masking tape around the magnets on the backside of the grille as shown in the second photo.
