Default L.O.D. Armor Lite question

Can someone give me the distance between the fog light holes on the Armor Lite. Just wondering if my Illinois license plate will fit between them without blocking off any of the openings. I'm hoping to put the plate there. If it wont fit I'll have to use a Roller Fairlead and Flip Up Lic Plate Mount with Daystar Nylon rope rollers instead of a hawse for for a Zeon 10-S.

Inside to inside is 11", I think most plates are 12". I have the skid plate, so I just attached it to the center fasteners and made the plate follow the contour of it.

I know a front plate is required, I wouldn't have your luck. Also it's just possible cause to be pulled over.

I did the same thing. Just used self tapping screws and bolted it to the skid plate below the bumper.

How did you mount the plate? I've been running without a front plate for awhile with no problem yet.

I just drilled 2 holes in the license plate, the width of the center 2 fastener locations of where the skid plate mounts. then just bend the plate to fit. I didn't use anything for the bottom license plate holes, it's fairly solid without anything there.
