Ok everyone, this is my very first How-To! I try to make things as easy as I can, having already installed the plate.

Let me know what you think!

Cliff notes -

Directions were hard to understand, but once you do it, it seems common sense on what needs to be done.

Step 1 - Attach metal strip to hide-a-plate using 2 metal bolts and use the black rubber cap things on the bottom to lock them in. Snip ends of metal bolts off as close to the rubber pieces as you can.

Step 2 - Position hide-a-plate where you would like it to be under the front lip of the car.

Step 3 - Take 2 black screws and screw one in each slot closest to the plate holder. You should screw them into the lower lip. Keep them loose so you can manuever the plate back and forth to adjust it so it doesn't rub/not fold up all the way. Once, you get it lined up correctly screw all the way in.

Step 4 - Bend metal strip upward and screw another black screw into the plastic gaurd. Use a black clip on the back of the gaurd to hold screw inplace.

Step 5 - Snip off excess metal strip

Step 6 - Add foam pads to any contact points

Step 7 - Attach license plate to hide-a-plate with 4 black screws and you're on your way!

Very cool! This is one of the first mods I would do to my Cobalt, that is if I lived in a state that requires a front plate

I wanna see one in the bottom grill area so that way lowered Balts won't have to worry about scraping and ripping them off or random pot holes.

Mines been hit by a ladder at 45mph. It still works, just alittle loose though. And stupid dealer bent my rails out as well when they went to replace the intercooler.

Good how-to! I had one on my base model and I decided **** it. I'm too lazy to flip it up and down all the time. Illinois requires one at all times while the vehicle is in operation, so I might as well just put it back on my fascia.
