I am flying from MN to MA to pick up my new M4 in a few weeks and plan on installing a StoNSho license plate bracket before I leave. The instructions say to remove and replace the bolts under the front lip but do not mention a size and I don't want to bring my entire wrench set on the airplane, lol.

If anyone can tell me what wrench size I will need for these bolts I would greatly appreciate it!

Those are 10mm

Are you really that worried about it? Won’t you be running a temp tag anyway?

10mm, takes 1 minute to install

[Berzerker]

Yeah you don't need to worry about a front plate with a temp tag.

Massachusetts does not provide temp tags for out of state buyers. I have to wait for my actual plates to arrive before I can pick it up. Otherwise I would have driven it home the same day I traded my car in.

Your picture looks very different from what I have seen from the installation photos. Is that a different front end/configuration from stock setup?

I realized just now that I shared my pic taken after I custom mounted it with M Performance lip 😄 I had to use different screws and spacers.

When I initially mounted it to the stock bumper I just reused the 10mm bolts.

Did you simply replace the bolts? Any step by step instructions?

Who are you asking?

[M3GALLY]

I heard you’re the original person - you’d be a huge help!

If you are simply installing this on a stock bumper, you just unscrew the two 10 mm head screws, and then use them to hold this bracket on. It is absolutely the most simple DIY possible. On my car, I added the M performance style lip, and this changes things a bit. I ended up using some different screws that were roughly an inch in a quarter longer and they had to put spacers between the lip and the stock bumper to keep things straight.

This is what I’m looking for. Planning to replace my lip with a fresh one and wanted to throw the Sto and sho on

Yeah, it's the best solution for this situation that is removable. I have only driven with it once because I was crossing the border into Canada and didn't want Customs messing with me on the way back.

Does the Sto and sho ever scrape?
