Just did the Softbrake relocation and Custom Dynamics LED license plate frame last night. It really wasn't anything that hard about it. A little time consuming and patience testing BUT....got her done. Hardest thing was the wiring IMO. Drilled a hole thru the license plate and the chrome backing place for the LED wiring....shrink wrapped it and wired it up. Never could get splicers to wk so....well it works great now! I'll take a pic in the next few days...

I could be wrong but I believe you will still have to buy the new tombstone from softbrake because you will have the reflector mount still in the oem. Don't be intimidated, once you get it done you'll know how to fix it if it ever breaks

I did mine without a jack as well and I have fat hands. It was tight, but one of the best looking mods you can do.

Nicky, I just looked at your apes-in-progress pics - you absolutely need to relocate that plate!

If a dork like me can do it, you certainly can.

I didn't need to put it on a lift, but it would certainly make it easier. Its a piece of cake!
