BEFORE YOU START

Create a clean slate by removing your license plate and wiping it clean of any dirt or debris. This is also a great opportunity to wash and wax the area behind your plate.


1. PROTECT YOUR VEHICLE WITH RUBBER SPACERS

  • Peel the paper from the rubber spacers, revealing the adhesive.

  • Align spacers with mounting holes and stick to back of license plate to prevent vibration and protect the vehicle.

  • If your vehicle only allows for 2-hole mounting, insert rubber plate bumpers into the lower holes.


2. INSERT PLATE INTO FRAME USING TABS

  • Insert the bottom edge of the license plate into the frame so the mounting tabs hold the plate in place.


3. PREPARE HARDWARE HIDER CAPS

  • Insert stainless steel screws through the hardware hider caps.


4. PUT IT ALL TOGETHER

  • Align license plate and frame with mounting holes on vehicle.

  • Slowly thread each screw with hardware hider cap into the vehicle mounting hole in a clockwise direction.


5. FINISHING TOUCHES

  • Tighten screws until they are seated firmed against the frame.

  • Firmly snap all hardware hider caps closed.

  • Remove any finger prints from license plate frame using a microfiber towel.

  • Take a photo and tag #camincusa or send to marketing@caminusa.com.
