    image.jpeg Ok I'm done with rear light location and now I've searched for hours and came up with what's right and what's wrong with license plate locations, frames,lights etc.
    I'd like input and ideas on where and what you used. I'm hinging on center and low off body.

    Are you going to have a spreader bar or nerf bar or? on the rear? Maybe attach to that?

    Here are some from my "good idea file".
    IMO, if you're undecided, stick with stock Ford- but maybe shortened- brackets.

    Hope this helps.

    Looks good where you mocked it up. Gives it symmetry.

    You could add tube to surround the plate. IMG_1485.JPG
