Front Grill License Plate Mount

thegrandfacade · 08-08-2021, 03:06 PM

Wondering if anyone knows the exact function of the center plastic bar across the front grill?

Is it simply for mounting a front license plate, or does it also provide any type of structural reinforcement / safety function?

I feel as though though the front end would look so much better without this piece, and as I have no intention of mounting a front plate on my car, I'm scheming up options to either remove it / modify the grill panel / potentially paint match it with the rest of the grill.

It's covering up the crash beam.
