One issue is that the latch for the hood is under there (right in the middle) and I have to have access to it. Maybe that is why there is the suction cup bracket. I don't really want the plate to be hanging off to the side (not centered) nor have to remove the bracket to pop the hood... If it was my old 1g, I would just bend some L brackets and call it a day. I want this car to look a bit cleaner, not like I half assed the brackets.

In my dsm's they were drilled into the front bumper as I wanted to have a clear path to my FMICs.
