Hi, shiumai,

My magnets came in today and they are really strong. You must be working in this industry to know them. I have never heard of them before. Here is a question:

"I also flipped over the metal tabs with the plate screw holes so they poke out the front of the bracket, rather than the rear. They're strong enough in that orientation as well."

My question is: once you reverse the tabs, will the license plate be able to stay flush with the plate holder? I am afraid the protruding holes will give me some trouble.

Will try to take off the front bumper tomorrow and wish myself best luck. But have to say that this is a fantastic solution that comes out of nowhere. Many thanks.

i did lay a blanket under the bumper so i could set it down on the ground without scratching it.
