I think you did a great job. Perhaps later you may want to add some protection to those bumper mounted inlets. With my S-10 Blazer EV power inlets mounted in the grill [ http://brucedp.150m.com/blazer/ ] instead of the bumper (as you did), I had less worries if someone stopped too quickly in front of me, or some yo-yo backed into me when parking, etc. That bumper protection does not need to be the gaudy types law enforcement use, see https://i.ytimg.com/vi/fxTgFw0dQP0/maxresdefault.jpg A search found some items to draw ideas from: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Front-Bumper-Impact-Pad-Set-Jeep-Wrangler-97-06-TJ-/161890352280?hash=item25b16abc98:g:iGgAAOSwLzdWS6CE&vxp=mtr http://www.ebay.com/itm/NOS-ORIGINAL-GENUINE-PORSCHE-924-924S-944-RIGHT-FRONT-BUMPER-PAD-/371496022658?hash=item567ee37282:g:YJMAAOSwys5WWKD2&vxp=mtr http://www.ebay.com/itm/Porsche-911-912-65-73-Front-Bumper-Guard-Rubber-Pad-New-/380162824142?hash=item58837857ce:m:m7NJGBu4CfRfe5bBbzSjlOQ&vxp=mtr http://www.f150forum.com/attachments/f38/77565d1326928396-front-bumper-pads-universal-image-3474711806.jpg http://www.gdmjoe.com/gothf150/exterior/bumperpads.jpg Another approach would be to use a license plate protector, see http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bumper-Protector-Front-Car-Guard-License-Plate-Frame-Holder-Black-Rubber-Thick-/151848063451?hash=item235ad991db:g:FVIAAOSw5VFWHZCS&vxp=mtr&autorefresh=true http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bumper-Protector-Front-Car-Guard-License-Plate-Frame-Black-Rubber-Extra-Thick-/161857227804?hash=item25af714c1c:g:1qkAAOSw~bFWHZCK&vxp=mtr&autorefresh=true I also found something you may (or may not) want to use that is for a Smart car, see http://www.ebay.com/itm/Silver-Front-or-Rear-Bumper-Protector-Spikes-Guards-Protectors-For-Smart-Car-/191620712124?hash=item2c9d7c06bc:g:OBEAAOSw-vlVoz5S&vxp=mtr One of that ad's images http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/~YYAAOSw3ydVoz5c/s-l400.jpg only shows two of these bumper spikes being used, which IMO where they are mounted seems rather useless/not enough protection for your inlets if you got bumped. Of course you could let your inner Goth out and put several of these on your bumper making it look like its wearing a spiky dog collar, see http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OcY0M2Iymv0/T5sGlN6ikXI/AAAAAAAAAHE/YqbXWpUNhFU/s1600/abby_ncis.jpg http://pad3.whstatic.com/images/thumb/6/6d/Be-Goth-Step-4-Version-3.jpg/670px-Be-Goth-Step-4-Version-3.jpg My personal choice would be to put a protective pad on either side of your license plate inlet assembly. You would minimize the look, yet have some protection for life's little bumps and owies.
