    I noticed that the front license plate goes over the intake for the inter cooler. Anyone heard anything about this being a potential issue?

    Front bumper is going to look dicked up with that front plate bracket left empty and move plate to the side , but maybe needed. I wish Texas would allow us not to have to install front plates

    Hook em

    They require front plates here in Colorado too. I've got a new ADD bumper in my garage and I'm not drilling frigging holes in it to mount some dumbass plate.!! Until I get pulled over;)

    I've never written anyone for not having a front plate. Especially anyone driving a really nice vehicle. I can appreciate why they leave it off.

    My 13 eco has the bracket on the side from factory. I'd venture to say if Ford moved it back to the middle they found out it doesn't make a difference.

    I've never put front plates on my cars in 25 years. I also live, or lived, in states that do require it. Never been pulled over over for it. Never been cited. (knock on wood) This truck is no exception.

    I also will say that I am a middle aged white guy driving nice vehicles, sooooooooo.....yeah, Im not worried either. One of my kids got pegged for it though driving a POS.

    Also to the point, I did read somewhere that Ford has tested and is confident in the plate placement over the IC.
