ouch!
that's an ugly front plate holder.

I'm due for inspection in November and I need to figure out something temporary for my front plate that's easily removable just for inspection.

The only good thing about that plate (and yes it it made for the tiger kit) is it is held in with 2 push pins. You have 2 indents on the underside of your front vent hole. As the instructions say push a stubby philips screwdriver thru them. You wont see the holes when you pull the pins out and take it off. I also put a strip of felt like double stick on the back so it wont rub my paint. But as I said in IL you will get stopped every mile and get a ticket. Plus I live about 6 miles from the State Police Acadamy that dont help.

Show us a pic of your new butt! I installed my TS front fascia a few months ago; am not waiting on the delivery of my rear. What exhaust are you using?

If you bought the cheesy bracket for the nose mount the plate lower by cutting off the top and mount the license plate using only the bottom holes, Trim with a hack saw. The plate sits under the nose edge and is 100 x better looking then that. I can't bring myself to buy the C6 aftermarket bracket for $100.
