JDM Bumper, How to mount rear plate?
I have removed my crash beam and installed a jdm bumper. How do I go about mounting my rear plate? Is there some thing I need to buy?

you need to reuse the metal frame from the oem bumper and bend it back to where the tabs are so you can mount your plate

As he said. Take your time, there is no wrong way of making the plate fit. Bend the OEM bracket until you're happy.

My friend bent the tab, I had a bracket made. Both ways work but is personal preference on how it will look.

You could also get one of the aftermarket rear crash beams, that way your plate is mounted and your car is safer.
