Re-installing ED Front Plate

bruza · 03-07-2016, 04:33 AM

I recently moved to PA (from WA State). Being a one plate state (VERY nice I might add), I'd like to put my ED Plate back on the front.

Any suggestions for a good double sided adhesive tape? I do have clear bra on the front bumper btw. I liked the tape they used at The Welt if that helps.

Thanks

Go to Home Depot. Get the 3M Double Sided tape. Used it many times, including on my recent trip across the US. I've used the tape on bare paint, Clear Bra, and Vinyl Wrap. Very strong stuff and never has failed me. I never understood why people freak out about figuring out how best to mount a front plate. The go out and spend money on a tow hook plate mount when $8 dollar tape works and you can place the plate exactly in the center without drilling.

I spent the money on tow hook plate! Don't rub it in!

But the offset plate - I like the look. I don't know what I like but i like it.
