I trimmed the clips off my stock front license plate bracket, then mounted it to the plastic in the front bumper to let the intercooler breathe. $0.

How did you mount it? Just drill?

Throwing some lights in that area and need to move the plate (if not leave it off and see what happens)

Yep. The stock bracket has 2 holes that are not utilized by the licence plate itself. So I just used those holes and screwed it to the bumper.

Usa flag tow hitch cover. Made out of plastic, gets the job done. You can get them on amazon for 12-20 bucks. This one was gifted to me.

I actually used these same boards on my 2014 except that truck had tan interior and I never covered it with carpet. The back parts of the wood had to be shorted nearly 2" because the fit is different on the new generation truck. however the curves and cuts I did for the 2014 actually fit better in this truck. This truck looks like it can hold A LOT more crap under there. air compressor, tool bag, all manner of stuff. the stables barely show, a wack with a hammer will bury them under the fibers. I am also going to make the seat back tilt forward for even more crap back there, stuff I don't get to that often.

I like this too. Also with it kept in place with zip ties, it would be easy to take out if you needed the extra floor space for something.
