my ge looks like hitler o.O

The front license plate looks like it sits too high up for me. The license plate looks like hitlers mustache.

I tried to flip it around today, but the stock bolts are too short.

Has anyone done this? Did you just have to buy longer bolts, or did you have to buy a license plate relocation hit?

I made a custom bracket using a 12" mending brace. It made it sit lower and offset. But then i just plugged up the hole and put my plate inside against my windshield so the front is clean

Yeah you just need longer bolts to do this. after you install it this way it sits kind of angled so if you want to add some rake to it just sand down both bolt points together to the desired rake.

The idiot dealer just drilled into the bumper and screwed the plate to the bumper. He did not even look in the tire area for the plate frame.
I relocated my plate to the side. i have a GE sport. I used the stock frame. I made a template for the holes. I used those plastic things that you use to hold your toilet paper holder to the wall. they expand four ways when you screw in a screw. looks good and is sturdy.

Special bracket bolts to the underside of bumper, you could have mine if you were closer, removed as it only had dealer name ad plate. While I was at it also removed the rear frame and cleaned off the advertising dealer had on it. Didn't like the dealer and wasn't about to give him free advertising space.
