In the second pic I posted, you can see that the frame is actually open to all the bolts, which allows you to place the frame stiffener right in there with out the the removal of the bumper. I realized this when i was working on the bumper bolts and saw that the inside of the frame is exposed.

You know I still don't totally understand blocking out your license plate number. People can see it on the road. Regardless I decided to "do as the Romans" and blocked out part of the plate, got too lazy to do the rest.
