Are those proper after market tag holders or did you just srew them onto the molding already there? I want to do both sides to mine as well.

Yes @Cavalry67 these are the OEM plate holders #JL3Z-17A385-AA modified to mount on the two pads to either side of the center bumper grill.
Plate holder removed from center grill.
Remove all four mounting tabs from holder.
Line up plate holder to pad removed from bumper and mark and drill the two lower holes in the plate holder, I kept them closer to the outer edge of the pad for more air flow to the center.
Used two on the first plate holder and when I did the second side I ran an additional one through the center hole on both of them.
Good job on the plate relocation. When I installed my Five Star bumper grille, I wanted something that would be a little less bulky, so I got this universal plate holder from Amazon that has many options for bolt locations and is the same size as the license plate so doesn't stick out around the perimeter.

The OEM plate holder from my dealer was only $14.44 plus tax in stock. How did you fasten the the holder with nuts and bolts through the grill mesh?

Liked it so much I got a second one to eliminate the shaded spot created by the Super Duty recessed license plate lights and the trailer connector on my rear plate, used as a spacer to bring the plate flush with the trailer connector. $6.99 U.S. on Amazon.
Since I removed the bumpers center grill and replaced it with the Eco-boost center section to allow more airflow to the Whipple and inter cooler that's inbound. I moved the required front tag over and decided to add an additional plate holder for a group that is still working tirelessly to bring them all home.
How did you do this? Are there proper after market brackets that you popped in or brackets that that you screwed to the moldings?
LOL, i just saw your answer to this further up.
Thanks

Reason: Disregard!
Friend painted my trim with Krylon Metallic Dark Metal and a gloss clear coat. I'm very impressed with how well it came out. Pictures don't do it justice. It's got a nice pearl in the paint and makes the interior looks miles better over the plain Lariat trim
