How To Remove Front License Plate Bracket Chevy Equinox

Really don't like the bulky license plate thingy on the front and want to remove it. It is held on by 4 of the most unusual bolts/screws/clips I have. If you're looking to upgrade or repair your Chevy Equinox with a License Plate Bracket Auto Parts Warehouse is here for you. Free shipping on orders over $50 always makes purchasing a little easier.

My Volt also came with the front bumper bracket installed. My Georgia dealer got my Volt from a California dealer, who had already installed the brackets.

California requires front license plates, Georgia does not. Anyhow, I removed the bracket and installed bumper plugs. The plugs were OK. The paint matched perfectly, but the effect reminded me of a beautiful woman with warts all over her nose.

There were also other minor imperfections in the bumper. Therefore, I reinstalled the front bracket and put in a nice custom designed plate, which I am happier with. If you still want to remove the bracket, you will have to carefully drill out each rivet. Start with about a 1/8' drill and carefully and slowly drill out the center. Go to a slightly larger drill until the rivet falls out. The stock rivet size is 3/16' by the way. You will then have holes in your bumper.

I'm waiting for the 'perfect accident' that will do cosmetic damage to the front bumper, but do nothing more, so I can replace the front bumper skin. However, I am content with the present look, and I can make seasonal changes and other statements.
