6. Tighten the bolts and nuts with a screwdriver and wrench to secure the tag to the
vehicle.
Types of Bumpers
When mounting tags directly to a bumper, consider the following factors:
• Tags can be mounted on any metal or non-metallic surface; composition of
bumper does not matter.
• Tags can be mounted to plastic bumpers using self-threading screws.
• Metal bumpers should be pre-drilled; self-threading screws may be used.
Alternate Mounting Locations
If the exterior type tag cannot be mounted on the license plate bracket or directly on
the bumper, it may be mounted on a relatively vertical front surface of the vehicle. The
exterior tag should be mounted as close to the bumper as possible, following all guide-
lines regarding orientation, obstruction, and overhang given for bumper mounting. For
applications where the
integrity of the mounting surface cannot be compromised, the
exterior tag can be mounted on a smooth flat surface using double-sided tape.
Required Materials
Exterior tags need to be installed on a relatively flat surface. You need the following
materials to install exterior tags:
• Rubbing alcohol, 50/50 isopropyl alcohol and water, or solvent/cleaner for metal
• Sponge and dry cloth
