How to: Installing JDM Plate Bracket with JDM hardware
Anyone here using the JDM plate bracket? I picked one of these up from MitsubishiParts.net and I have no idea how to install it.
Looking at a few threads that show the USDM bracket, doesn't really reveal how it would bolt up since the holes don't line up.
I'm at a loss as to how this bolts up.
Any ideas?
I guess I'll have to pull the JDM bumper off and see if I can fab something up.

Rear. Sorry, I wasn't clear enough.
I wonder if that's a JDM/EDM piece? Since mine was a USDM bumper originally, it might be lacking that specific bracket.
I'm willing to bet that the JDM license bracket bolts right up to that bumper bracket in your pics.

8 1/4" or 210mm
So the part that I think is different between the USDM and the JDM/EDM to hold the lisence plate bracket is #11 "Reinforcement" in the below pic:

Finally decided to get off my *** and measure it for you. Perfect fit 210mm.
It looks to me like the USDM has separated the reinforcement (11) and the licence bracket (17). It appears to be one piece on the JDMS.

I have the USDM one modified and it looks ghetto and unfinished in my opinion. I want the proper JDM part back there if I'm going to be running the bumper.
Thanks, I'm going to contact Russell at MitsubishiParts.net and see if he can source one.
Cheers!

I remember bending the two arms down vertical with the bumper then using duct tape to lign it up so the plate looked perfect, then drilled holes and used the rivet gun (that I used for the rest of the install) to rivet the license plate holder back onto the retainer. A beer or two later and it's perfect:

Sorry for the OT and I know this doesn't help you attach the JDM plate mount - but you if you can still salvage your USDM one it's easy to make it look OEM. I followed this thread - https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...ar-bumper.html

The plate is held to the bumper at the bottom with 3M double sided tape, it's crooked and looks sloppy in my opinion.
I paid over $800 for the bumper, I'm going to get it right even if it kills me.
