QUESTIONS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED ON MOUNTING THE BRACKETS SINCE THE PACKAGE DOES NOT CONTAIN ANY INSTRUCTIONS. THE LICENSE PLATE IS MOUNTED IN THE CENTER AND IN FRONT OF THE BUMPER. THE HOLDER SHOULD BE MOUNTED SO THE LICENSE PLATE SLIDES IN FROM THE BOTTOM. THE WIDE SPACED MOUNTING HOLES ON THE TWO "L" SHAPED BRACKETS SCREW TO THE HOLDER WITH FOUR SCREWS. THERE ARE FOUR HOLES FOR MOUNTING TO THE BOTTOM OF THE BUMPER IMPACT BAR, BUT ONLY TWO ARE USED; DEPENDING UPON THE MODEL. ONE SCREW MOUNTS EACH "L" BRACKET. ON CUSTOM MODELS, MOUNT USING THE REAR MOST HOLE. ON LIMITED MODELS, MOUNT USING THE FORWARD HOLE.
